Unions push on organizing By Steven Greenhouse
On Labor Day, the AFL-CIO plans to announce a nationwide campaign that union leaders say is crucial to assuring labor's future, a campaign that aims to change federal laws to make it easier for workers to join unions.
Disclosing details of this effort, the federation's president, John Sweeney, said in an interview Friday that American workers often faced huge obstacles to forming unions, saying they rarely can exercise the right to unionize without facing employer intimidation.
"The right of workers to make their own free choice to join a union has been effectively canceled in a huge majority of unionization elections," Sweeney said. "Employers engage in every tactic imaginable to block workers' freedom to form a union."------------------------------------------- posted 7:17 AM :: reference link ::
