... I wonder if anyone at the AFL-CIO is 
asking how the French unions can cause such 
trouble with just 8% density. Maybe it's all that

is functioning a mass vanguard party in the economic sphere, a bit beyond
trade unionism pure and simple.

Do the French unions have a position on the war on Iraq ?
