AFL-CIO Snubs Million Worker March by Madeleine Baran, The NewStandard, NY
Organizers also called the lack of AFL-CIO support 'unprecedented,' and added that the decision not to endorse the march went 'over the heads of significant sectors of... labor, anti-war, community and inter-faith organizations.'
Clarence Thomas, a longshoreman with Local 10 of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union is one of the march's leaders. 'The labor movement doesn't want this to happen because it's a rank-and-file, bottom-up thing,' he told the Tribune.
Many argue that the labor movement has lost touch with ordinary workers, and point to the continuing decline of union membership. They say that the revitalization of unions can only happen through a broad social movement, uniting progressive activists, community groups and workers.------------------------------------------- posted 8:06 AM :: reference link ::
