    Stern’s ‘Change to Win’ Has Serious Flaws; Why He Can’t Achieve His Big-Time Goals - The fourth of six articles By Harry Kelber
    On Aug. 30, SEIU issued a press release, whose headline read: “Cooperative Strategy Offers American Workers and Their Employers New Hope on Labor Day.”

    SEIU’s president. Andy Stern, was quoted: “The global economy has changed the rules and the old ways simply won’t work.” Stern added: “It’s going to take bold partnerships and responsible competitiveness to end the race to the bottom, so that workers can help create and share in their companies’ success.”

    Stern has reinvented himself from a labor leader concerned about the plight of exploited workers into his upgraded role as the Apostle of Global Partnerships, preaching an essential harmony and common interest between workers and bosses.
