This is what the employers want. Member- the right to belong to any political party or religious association they choose. Denial of this right means to destroy the fundamental prin- ciple upon which a trade union is founded.” The statement then calls for united action of the workers of all organizations, “paving the way for a united automobile workers’ union that stands upon the program of militant trade unionism free from the deadly grip of the A.
