New Setting of the Class Struggle and Industrial Concentration
We are dealing with the largest working class in our history. Not counting farm labor, figures that I was not able to come up with, there are roughly 130 million workers in the U.S. economy today. If you add in the unemployed, who are very much part of the working class, then the figure is probably closer to 135 million. For comparison, in 1948 there were a little more than...
Keynote Address, 27th CPUSA National Convention
A Convention is a crowning moment in the life of a Communist Party. It is the highest deliberative and decision-making body in our Party's structure.

We mourn our dead - We stand for peace
The terrorist attack on Sept. 11 has shaken all of us. Few things will be the same. A sea change has occurred in our nation's life.

Wages are stagnant despite record economic expansion. This is a challenge to the labor and people's movements and to ourselves.
Northern California Elections Report
Joining with Los Angeles and other Southern California areas, the greater Bay Area counties, where the population is concentrated in Northern California and the labor movement is strongest, helped give Gore a big win in the state. With the exception of one county with 50 percent, Gore took the greater Bay Area by margins of 60 to 76 percent depending on the county, helping offset more conservative areas of the...
