	Andy Stern's A Country That Works \| Getting America Back On Track
		Posted by Andy Stern on Thu, 10/26/2006 - 2:53pm.
		He argued that we were just experiencing the normal cycle of young workers starting off being poor and seniors having less income, but mobility and wage increases were working for everyone in the middle class.

	[No title]
		Stern and his team say they were convinced from talking to employers in the fast-growing area that the employers didn't like the low wages and poor benefits much more than the union did.
		Stern found that by bringing all of the main employers in an industry to the table at one time, rather than one after the other, he was able to effectively regulate an entire market.
		Stern gives the impression of having been shaken loose from conformity by the death of his daughter and the end of his marriage; nothing can hurt him more than he has already been hurt, which breeds in him the kind of abandon that can be dangerous to the status quo.

		Stern hired a corporate consulting firm versed in the jargon of the new economy and undertook a campaign to ''rebrand'' the union.
		Stern's plan to rescue the American worker begins with restructuring the A.F.L.-C.I.O. Since the 1960's, a lot of struggling unions have chosen to merge rather than perish, to the point where there are half as many unions in the federation today as there were at its height.
		Stern invited the top executives of about a dozen unions from Europe and Australia to a meeting in London this April, which will be the maiden gathering of what he says he hopes will become a formalized global federation.

	Andy Stern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	The Enigma of Andy Stern: Fifth in Series of Six Articles
		Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, has been spending a lot of quality time with the CEOs of the largest Fortune 500 corporations, trying to convince them that a “partnership” with labor is a good deal that can help them solve some of their persistent problems.
		Stern’s strong selling point was his proposal to eliminate employer contributions to health insurance and retirement plans; if corporations were freed from these financial burdens, it would save them billions a year.
		Stern’s basic shortcoming is that he does not believe that the rank-and-file has any purposeful role in rebuilding the labor movement.

	Can This Man Save Labor?
		Stern, who leads by far the largest and fastest-growing U.S. union, is aiming high, planning to force the federation to confront its malaise with constitutional changes when the AFL-CIO meets next July for its quadrennial convention.
		Stern knew he couldn't run a typical recruitment drive, one janitorial contracting company at a time: In this fragmented industry, any that agreed to higher pay would be quickly undercut by nonunion rivals.
		To Stern and his NUP colleagues, the lesson is elementary: Unions can't lift workers into the middle class unless they control a significant chunk of the labor market, either geographically or by industry.

		ANDY STERN: Well, first of all, I think it's important to understand that the reason we left was because we saw an economy that really wasn't working for American workers.
		ANDY STERN: Well, first of all, I wrote this book for people like Marvin Parker, whoâs a security guard in New York City, who has worked for nine years now, makes $7 an hour, got one raise in his lifetime on the job of 25 cents, but more importantly, Marvin has an eye infection.
		ANDY STERN: Well, one is, we took a position very early on, in fact, before the invasion, that there were a series of principles that any country should adopt before it takes preemptive or aggressive actions in terms of going to war.

	The Next Hurrah: He Went. An Interview With SEIU President Andy Stern
		Andy Stern is on a quest for whatever he thinks is new.
		Stern’s ideas about unions and where they can leverage their power are different than just about any other labor leader’s.
		Stern’s commitment to community coalitions may be fairly rare among today’s international unions, but many local and regional union bodies, as well as many AFL-CIO state and local organizations have been working closely with community organizations on issues like living wage laws and support for strikes and organizing drives for years.

	Morphizm.com -- A Tale of Two Leadership Styles
		What Stern wants to do is nothing less than create a vibrant 21st-century labor movement, which he considers "America's best anti-poverty program"; turn the tide against the Wal-Martization of our economy; and, while he's at it, help save the Democratic Party.
		To this end, Stern has issued an ultimatum to AFL-CIO president John Sweeney: Implement a slate of specific reforms that, in Stern's words, would "build something stronger that really changes workers' lives" or he and his members will leave and continue the process they started on their own.
		Stern's courage has been very hard-earned, the result of the tragic loss of his 14-year-old daughter, Cassie, who died in his arms just over two years ago, following what was supposed to be a routine operation.

	Powell's Books - A Country That Works: Getting America Back on Track by Andy Stern
		Andy Stern, one of the most visionary leaders in America today, has fought relentlessly to ensure that Americans' hard work is rewarded in today's hypercompetitive, globalized world.

	How union leader Andy Stern has harmed the labor movement. - By Robert Fitch - Slate Magazine
		This week Andy Stern, president of America's largest union, finally made good on the threat he's been brandishing for over two years.
		This defection is being presented as a triumph for Stern, who has been widely portrayed as the most energetic and effective union leader in an increasingly decrepit labor movement.
		The issue that's supposed to have caused the divide was a disagreement over priorities: Stern and his allies—usually described as "insurgents"—wanted their dues to the AFL-CIO rebated so they could focus on organizing new members.
