[lbo-talk] Anti-War Labor Empowerment

[Bob Feldman]

Without U.S. anti-war labor empowerment within the U.S. media, university,
foundation, political and economic world, the era of permanent war abroad,
"jobless recovery" and domestic repression (as indicated by what the
anti-FTAA protesters have been subjected to in Miami over the last few days)
is likely to continue.  CIA-linked unionism, however, has historically
blocked U.S. anti-war labor empowerment in both the AFL-CIO unions and in
the media, university, foundation, political and economic worlds  Another
result of CIA-linked unionism is the steep decline since 1945  in the
percentage of U.S. workers who are unionized and the failure of the AFL-CIO
to support U.S. anti-war labor demands that the CIA be abolished.

Speaking of abolishing the CIA, are any of the AFL-CIO leadership-backed
Democratic or GOP presidential candidates calling for the CIA to be
abolished in 2005, to prevent further CIA covert actions in the 21st
century?
