    AFL-CIO creates a group for non-union workers By STEVEN GREENHOUSE
    Hoping to increase its political clout, the AFL-CIO announced yesterday that it was creating a novel organization for non-union workers who agree with the labor movement on many issues and want to campaign alongside labor on those issues.

    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.

    AFL-CIO e-Cards & Screensavers Send animated, musical online greetings to friends, co-workers, working family heroes—and your favorite troublemaker. Now you can customize your cards by adding an inspiring, agitating or amusing quote from labor history.

    CNN.com - No picnic for millions this Labor Day WASHINGTON (AP) -- This Labor Day will be no picnic for millions of Americans who are unemployed or unable to find full-time work that will cover the bills.
