AFL-CIO Refuses to “Clear the Air” on Foreign Policy, Operations By Kim Scipes, LaborNotes
A report now circulating on the results of an October 14, 2003 meeting in Oakland between the California State AFL-CIO and AFL-CIO International Affairs leaders shows that national AFL-CIO leaders have not accepted a California labor initiative to reveal the federation's role in past and current foreign operations.
This meeting was the outcome of a process that began in 1998 with an effort by labor activists in the San Jose, California area to demand that the AFL-CIO 'clear the air' about its involvement in events leading up to a 1973 coup that overthrew the elected government of Chile.
