John, have you attended USLAW meetings? (Or has anyone else here?) If so, what's your impression of the organization and people involved in it? What sort of unionists are predominantly involved? Mainly unionists from service-sector unions like SEIU, AFSCME, teachers' unions, etc.? A lot from unions in the industrial and transport sectors, too? Are participants more or less evenly divided among different sectors? To what extent can USLAW influence the rest of organized labor? Given the "appeal" (which is addressed to UFPJ and the like, rather than to unions), USLAW itself is not yet in the position to take the lead on mass actions that it calls for. What do you think about that? -- Yoshie
