DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Labor Action Coalition Forum  The Break Up Of The AFL-CIO &  The 
 Rank And File  Which Way Forward For Working People?  Presentations and 
 Discussion on the Split In The AFL-CIO  $3.00 Donation Requested  The 
 recent split in July of  the AFL-CIO is creating further crisis within the 
 organized labor movement. The SEIU, Teamsters, UFCW, UNITE-HERE, LIUNA are 
 charging that the AFL-CIO is not a democratic organization yet with the 
 exception of the IBT do any of these unions elect their international 
 presidents or did they ever support the rank and file electing AFL-CIO 
 president John Sweeney?  The AFL-CIO convention presented no program or 
 agenda to stop the termination of pension plans at UAL or how to stop the 
 open union busting campaign going on at NWA and a host of other unionized 
 companies. How is either grouping "Unite To Win" or the AFL-CIO going to 
 defend organized workers much less organize the unorganized?  In the bay 
 area hundreds of thousands of workers including state workers at CSEA-SEIU 
 1000, CUE-UC, CAN-UC, UPTE-UC, San Francisco Chronicle IBT-GCIU4 workers, 
 Sutter Hospital Workers SEIU-UHRW, SF Hotel Workers UNITE-HERE2, NWA-AMFA, 
 Bricklayers, Claremont Hotel UNITE-HERE 2850 are without contracts or out 
 on strike.  These unions and the rank and file need to unite to defend 
 their jobs and their union. This meeting will discuss what went on in 
 Chicago at the rank and file conference and what we need to do to defend 
 our unions.  Sunday September 4, 2005 2:00 PM  Fellowship Of Humanity  390
