Elected Experience: No information submitted.
Other Professional Experience: Henry Dennison is a railroad
conductor and SMART-TD union member.
Education: Dennison learned to have deep confidence in the
solidarity and fighting capacity of the working class from the Black-
led movement that defeated Jim Crow segregation, and through five
decades of work in fruit packing plants, coal mines, railroads, steel
mills and other industries.
Community Service: He has recently taken part in solidarity with
farm workers, miners, auto workers, flight attendants and firefighters,
among others, and joined actions against anti-Jewish attacks, in
support of Ukraine’s independence, against the US embargo of Cuba,
and in solidarity with immigrant workers.
Statement: We live in a deeply class-divided country ruled by a
handful of billionaire families and their government. Democratic
and Republican parties say they speak for workers, but millions
increasingly recognize this isn’t true.
The global order the US rulers dominated after World War II is coming
apart. The economic workings of capitalism are marching the world
towards World War III, accelerated by Vladimir Putin’s murderous
invasion of Ukraine to deny its national rights, and Hamas’ October
7 pogrom – orchestrated by the counterrevolutionary rulers of Iran –
that slaughtered over 1,200 Jews in Israel. Only the working class has
the capacity to halt this trajectory.
Driven by competition inherent in capitalism, corporations continue
to pursue more production from fewer workers for less pay. But
recent union organizing and strike victories point to the possibility
of a different future. The low point of labor resistance is behind
us. Working people need to build a labor party that breaks from all
collaboration with the ruling class and wages a struggle for workers’
power.
Defending constitutional freedoms won in the first American
Revolution is a working-class issue. Attempts to jail and silence
Donald Trump and criminalize political differences deal a blow to
rights working people need. Drop all the charges!
Defend Israel’s right to exist as a refuge for Jews in the face of rising
Jew-hatred today! Join efforts to defend Jews from attack!
Workers need to fight for a public works program to put millions to
work at union scale wages building roads, schools, parks, hospitals
and more; for regular cost of living increases, wages sufficient to raise
a family and quality housing workers can afford; and for workers
control of production to guarantee safety on the job and reverse the
profit-driven destruction of the environment.
I'm not gonna trust an "electronic member poll" or "research phone poll" but whatever. Did they release the number of repsonses?
