THE GREEN PARTY STANDS IN
SUPPORT OF WORKING PEOPLE
The right to organize unions, bargain
freely and strike when necessary is being destroyed by employers and
their representatives in government. Today, nearly one out of ten
workers involved in union organizing drives is illegally fired by
employers who wage a campaign of fear, threats, and slick propaganda
to keep workers from exercising a genuinely free choice.
And as union membership falls, so do
the wages of all working people, union and non-union alike. We support
efforts to overcome these legal handicaps, especially in the South and
Southwest where the laws are most hostile. We also must dedicate
ourselves to fighting for a complete overhaul of this country's labor
laws
The Green Party supports the
irreducible right of working people, without hindrance, to form a
union and to bargain collectively with their employer. This right was
guaranteed under the National Labor Relations Act of 1935.

KEY VALUE # 7
Feminism And Gender Equity:
We have inherited a social system based on male domination of
politics and economics. We call for the replacement of the cultural
ethics of domination and control with cooperative ways of interacting
that respect differences of opinion and gender. Human values such as
gender equity, interpersonal responsibility, and honesty must be
developed with moral conscience. We recognize that the processes for
determining our decisions and actions are just as important as
achieving the outcomes we want.
