AFL-CIO’s Dark Past (6) The sixth in a series of six articles by Harry Kelber
Do Solidarity Center’s Covert Operations Help American Labor on Global Problems?
It is time to lift the veil of secrecy that shrouds the Solidarity Center and the International Affairs Department. American workers, suffering from the loss of tens of thousands of good-paying jobs through corporate outsourcing, should at least be kept informed about what's happening to workers and unions in other countries, and should be told what the AFL-CIO is saying and doing in foreign affairs.
Given the aggressive efforts of multinational corporations to seek the cheapest labor markets, international labor solidarity is essential if we are not to be forced to compete with workers everywhere “in a race to the bottom.” Yet how can we establish bonds of cooperation with unions and workers in other lands if we are kept completely in the dark about what they’re doing?------------------------------------------- posted 10:08 AM :: reference link ::
