YEAH, BABY! UNIONS ARE OUT AGAINST AMREN CONFERENCE, NICK GRIFFIN

This release from Workers Uniting came out the day that the Westin Dulles Hotel bounced Jared Taylor and the American Renaissance Conference out the door, but it is still relevant because the conference is still on. The thing now is Taylor is now in survival mode. One, he isn’t letting anyone know where it is until 48 hours beforehand, which means that those who would not otherwise want to associate with the assorted neo-Nazis attending will be forced to do so. Hey, they’re Nazis! What do you expect, them to care? Two, he is challenging some folks out there opposing him to a public debate before the conference! In other words, the publicity is bad for Taylor, and he wants to control it somehow, because he’s gotta have his conference. He’s just gotta! We will say for the record that we are not the ones he has extended that challenge to, which is pretty much expected. After all, we don’t have anything to talk about except how fast can he end this BS he has been about for the past twenty years. That’s pretty much what is being asked by people who, unlike him, go out and put their time in and work for what they want, not matter what Taylor & Co. think of it. The opposition that Taylor is feeling right now won’t go away until American Renaissance does, and that’s because the true American Renaissance lies with those who are telling Jared Taylor and those that support him to go to hell.

Workers Uniting

Leaders of the largest trade unions in the UK, Ireland, North America and Canada have made a fierce protest against the decision of a large hotel chain to host a conference due to be addressed by the leader of the far right British National Party (BNP) Nick Griffin.

In a letter to the Westin Hotel from the world’s first international union, Workers Uniting which represents three million working people, expresses deep anger about the decision of the management to allow an individual whose views are so offensive to many to address a white supremacist conference on its premises.

The Westin Hotel chain has over 160 hotels and resorts worldwide. Workers Uniting, the world’s first global union is a partnership between Unite from the United Kingdom and the United Steelworkers (USW) from the United States and Canada.

In their letter signed by Derek Simpson, Tony Woodley and Leo Gerard they say:
“Workers Uniting is appalled that the Westin would allow an individual whose views are so offensive and abhorrent to many, to hold a public address on its premises.

“You should be aware that a court order was made against the BNP after legal proceedings were issued against them on grounds that their membership requirements discriminated on grounds of, amongst other things, race. In 1996 Griffin received a nine-month prison sentence (suspended for two years) after being found guilty of distributing material likely to incite racial hatred. As well as this, Griffin is reported to have referred to the Holocaust as the ‘Holohoax’.”

Derek Simpson, Tony Woodley and Leo Gerard are urging the hotel management to reconsider their decision in order to avoid serious reputational damage to their business.
