With whom I work basically depends on who is supporting what cause. 
For instance, I've worked with AFL-CIO officials like Don Slaimon, 
who boasts of having worked to create "free & independent unions" in 
then socialist societies, especially during the strike of OSU workers 
in CWA Local 4501 in 2000 -- the kind of guys who are diametrically 
opposed to the Workers World Party on the question of the Chinese 
state, workers, & intellectuals.  I endorse neither's position on 
China, but that shouldn't prevent me from working with both -- with 
union officials when a local strike has to be supported, with Workers 
World organizers when an anti-war rally needs to be held at the 
moment when the precious few are willing to do anything.

P.S.  On things Chinese I've found my on-line pal Steve Philion's 
take to be agreeable.
