America's labour federation | Losing its grip - Economist, UK
For the AFL-CIO, this is a bad blow. The federation was just marking its 50th anniversary at this week's convention. The irony was painfully apparent. In 1955, in New York, the American Federation of Labour and the Congress of Industrial Organisations merged after years of bickering; today that alliance has split apart, at a time when Social Security, an increased minimum wage and other things dear to the unions are under assault from Republicans in Washington. Union leaders report harassment, threats and even firings when they exercise their rights to organise.------------------------------------------- posted 7:06 AM :: reference link ::
