USWA's $40m

[Michael Eisenscher]

I rather doubt that any significant amount would be spent outside the U.S.
The objective of most unions' organizing funds is to increase dues paying
members, market penetration, and influence with employers in bargaining.
"Solidarity" measures are generally consigned to the organization's
international affairs dept., if they have one, or to the AFL-CIO.

In solidarity,
Michael
