AFL-CIO creates a group for non-union workers By STEVEN GREENHOUSE

Federation officials said they hoped the new organization, to be called Working America, would attract more than 1 million members to lobby Congress and to join demonstrations on issues from raising the minimum wage to stopping the privatization of Social Security.
