"The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people." Cesar Chavez |

Organized labor has a Latino face thecalifornian.com
Today's immigrants from Latin America are doing what the Irish, Germans, Italians, Jews and others did before them: Organizing to make their issues part of labor's agenda.
This can be seen in the flip-flops that the AFL-CIO and other labor organizations have done on immigration. Unions that once lobbied for closed borders because they believed immigrant labor would depress salaries and rob their members of jobs now are reaching out to newcomers to this country to swell the rank and file.
'What's happened is that we have awakened this monster,' said Linda Chavez-Thompson, the second-ranking official at the AFL-CIO.------------------------------------------- posted 8:59 AM :: reference link ::
