Gee, did Sweeney endorse Buchanan's call for a lifting of all U.S. economic sanctions?
Isn't this just a bit overstated, Rakesh? Does Buchanan support a higher minimum wage and reforms of U.S. labor law? Has Buchanan ever shown any support in principle or in practice for the very idea of organized labor? Has he organized any rallies that feature unionists from Mexico, Malaysia, or South Africa?
