    Forbes.com: AFL-CIO unveils a union with a difference By Deborah Zabarenko
    WASHINGTON, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Besides the customary picnics and parades, Labor Day this year promises something a bit different: a union for U.S. workers that has nothing to do with collective bargaining.

    The giant AFL-CIO labor federation plans to unveil what its president, John Sweeney, called a new union -- Working America, which will seek U.S. workers who want to "speak out and work to change the direction of this country."
