Unions have not been a movement in 6 70 years, and they make up an increasingly irrelevant aprt of the working class of the United States. I don't know Whether AFL/CIO unions (exepting honorable locals) ever honored even noinally, "An Injury to One is and Injury to All," but a Unon movement that _was_ a movement and not a collection of grievance porcessors would give foremost priority at the present time to defending the rights (or rather, _establishing_ the rights) of undocumented aliens.
