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.
