 St./Valencia St. San Francisco  $5.00 Donation Requested (no one turned 
 away for lack of funds)  The failure of the AFL-CIO to put Kerry in the 
 White House has exacerbated and exposed their deep going internal crisis. 
 They used hundreds of millions dollars of union dues to support Kerry and 
 the Democrats and now they are paralyzed about what Bush and his co-hort 
 Arnold in California plan to do to the unions. Andy Stern of the SEIU and 
 other officials of the AFL-CIO say there needs to be major changes if the 
 AFL-CIO is to survive. This forum will look at how these unions function, 
 why they are in crisis, what changes these officials want and why the 
 AFL-CIO faces a possible break-up. It will also look at why the AFL-CIO 
 continues to be silent on the war on Iraq and refuses to mobilize their 
 membership against the war.  The rank and file of the AFL-CIO have been 
 forced to take concession after concession from the UFCW grocery clerks , 
 CWA SBC workers, SF city workers and airline workers and more and more 
 members are beginning to ask how to stop the onslaught.  The Labor Action 
 Coalition is organizing nationally and locally to defend democratic labor 
 rights and to organize the fightback against union busting, wage cutting 
 and concession bargaining that is taking place throughout the labor 
 movement. If you are interested in contacting us go to
