90% of Solidarity Center's Annual Budget Comes from Payoffs by U.S. Government - LaborTalk By Harry Kelber
Solidarity Center was established by the AFL-CIO in 1997 to help labor federations around the world work together to combat aggressive multinational corporations. Instead, it has become a virtual subsidiary of the U.S. State Department.
