Some interesting gossip from Kansas City concerning the AFL-CIO:

A local comrade tells me over lunch today about a group of interns that the AFL-CIO brought to Kansas City as part of their "Working America" program. It seems that the AFL-CIO lied to these kids, telling them that they would be trained to be union organizers. They got to Kansas City and found out that their real work was to go door-to-door to campaign for John Kerry.

So these smart kids went on strike!
