‘Militant’ names new
business manager
 
BY ARGIRIS MALAPANIS  
With this issue, the Militant announces that Michael Italie is its new business manager. Italie, 45, joined the staff in October 2002. Before that, he worked as a sewing machine operater in Miami. There he was at the center of a free-speech fight to defend workers’ rights. The fight erupted after his employer, Goodwill Industries, fired Italie because he advocated his political views for unions, against Washington’s assault on Afghanistan, and in defense of the Cuban Revolution as the Socialist Workers candidate for mayor of Miami in the 2001 elections.
