A Dollars & Sense Roundtable
http://www.dollarsandsense.org/0905roundtable.html
No doubt this July's decision by the leadership of the Service Employees International Union and the Teamsters to walk out of the AFL-CIO and form an alternative labor federation, Change to Win, underlines the severe problems the U.S. labor movement faces today and the absence of clear answers as to how to move forward. But what does the split really mean? Can either side legitimately claim the support of progressive labor activists? How new is Change to Win's program—and what are its likely results? We invited a number of longtime labor activists and scholars to help sort it all out.
