Edwin Fruit, right, SWP candidate for U.S. Senate in Washington state, talks with former fishing
boat deckhand and current hospital worker Mitchell Coleman in West Seattle, Oct. 20.
Coleman said he’s been thinking a lot about how to strengthen the union at work, but that
many co-workers fear retaliation by the company. We need to build the union movement, Fruit
said, and workers need our own political party. Coleman got a subscription to the Militant.
