they haven't done anything yet,
if they stay inside the system like little boys and girls they aren't militants,
I doubt 1 in 100 of them have the nerve for a real strike, I've been on the picket line and most people i see today won't do anything that will jeopardize their Sundays watching football on the 1080 flat screen, even if through some miricle you could get the average dittohead wage slave to embrace socialism all that would achieve is switching which rich man is at the top, being on the bottom is terrible no matter what system you live under.

Read the article. It's a pretty sharp critique of “unions.” I don't see anyone else doing anything substantive to oppose the Obama agenda.

taking personal risk,
facing danger, if pinkertons were shooting union members then just voting on a contract would be militant,
molly maguires were militant, modern day unions are so docilethat merely saying no is somehow militant in the eyes of labor people, and that is truly sad

Well, considering that it's the first national contract rejection in 30 years and they're under intense pressure from both the federal government and their own “union” I would. What's your gold standard? Throwing trash cans through Starbucks windows?

i wouldn't call rejecting a contract highly militant
