    Organizing labor: It all starts at the grass roots - By BILL VIRGIN, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
    It's all well and good for the leaders of the now-competing national labor federations to debate, in lofty tones and with sweeping statements, grand schemes for revitalizing the labor movement.

    But they're not the ones who actually have to do the work of translating goals and strategies into tactics at the grass-roots, rank-and-file worker level.

    Both the AFL-CIO and the new Change to Win Coalition (formerly known as Unite to Win) say labor needs to do more organizing and be more effective at it.

    OK, fine. How do you do that?
