(The Blaze)- Those who doubt the connection between the communist party and the unions need only to read accounts of a recent awards ceremony to see how both groups view each other.
On Sunday, December 5, the Communist Party USA gave awards to a pair of labor leaders and a former state legislator and assistant attorney general.* Among the recipients was Connecticut AFL-CIO head John Olsen, who not only gladly accepted the award, but garnered loud applause when he said he stands with CPUSA.
CPUSAs webzine Peoples World reports Olsen was given the award at the Voices for Jobs, Equality & Peace Peoples World Amistad Awards Concert celebrating the 90th anniversary of the CPUSA.

Anyone who stands with me for workers rights, I stand with them, said John Olsen to loud applause as he acknowledged the Communist Party and took a strong stand against fear mongering and baiting, including the anti-socialist baiting of President Barack Obama.
