But the vibrancy of civil society, the sense of common purpose, the universal manifestations of social solidarity that our union stood for in its time – all these things are largely gone. The union itself is a shell of its own former self, a partisan and mostly right-wing movement of workers buffeted by the new economic reality.
但民主社会的生机勃勃、为共同目标而努力的情感和无所不在的社会团结，所有这些我们工会曾经为之奋斗的梦想，大多已经随风而逝。“团结”工会只剩下了以前的空壳，成了遭受新经济现实打击的工人们自发组成的右翼组织。
