    Rank and File Workers to Challenge AFL-CIO Executive Council
    Rank-and-file union members have several key questions they will try to get answered by their leaders, if the leaders will hear them. Why do the unions spend millions on organizing, yet represent only 13 per cent of the nation‚s work force? Why has the AFL-CIO refused to fight for the nine million Americans who are unemployed? Why has the AFL-CIO failed to win a single piece of pro-worker legislation in decades, despite millions of dollars spent each year? Why are the AFL-CIO web sites, closed to postings by dues-paying members?
