[news] Solidarity in Reverse: The Reactionary Role of U.S. Labour

[Mostly Water - "Canadian" and International alternative news feed]

"(U.S. trade unions) are operating around the world, in over 40 countries, over 90% of funding (comes) from the (U.S.) State Department; they are not supporting themselves off money from their members of the AFL-CIO unions. Most union members know nothing about this. And the point I also want to make [is that] we are not against the labor movement. I am in my fourth union, but I abhor, I detest what the labor leadership has done behind the backs of its workers. And they will not come clean and we are going to force them."
