    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.

    While the Solidarity Center keeps its relations with the U.S government secret, it surely must pay a price to the government for the millions of dollars it receives to keep it in operation. The State Department is not known for zeal in promoting international labor solidarity.
