    PRNewswire
    National labor leaders from the AFL-CIO, UNITE and other unions will discuss a multi-city campaign to take the fight at Yale to 10 cities. Thousands of workers from dozens of unions across the United States will converge on Yale this Saturday to support Yale workers who have been on strike for a dignified retirement since August 27.

    WHO:
    John J. Sweeney, President, National AFL-CIO
    Andrew L. Stern, President, SEIU
    John W. Wilhelm, President, H.E.R.E.
    Bruce Raynor, President, UNITE
    Douglas McCarron, President, United Brotherhood of Carpenters

    waldheim: Solidarity Saturday That list sound familiar? It should. It's the same group that has been featured recently preparing for a power struggle within the AFL. It's pretty interesting to see them not only fighting within the AFL to force a progressive shift to more organizing, but also supporting each other in their local fights.
