	Trade union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A union (labor union in American English; trade union in British English and Australian English; either labour union or trade union in Canadian English) is an organisation formed by workers to practice collective bargaining.
		Most labor unions in the United States are members of a larger umbrella organization, the AFL-CIO, or the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations.
		Unions for public sector workers are governed by labor laws and labor boards in each of the 50 states; in many states, typically those in the north, these laws and boards are modeled after the NLRA and the NLRB.

	Labor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Labor is a series of continuous, progressive contractions of the uterus which help the cervix to open (dilate) and to thin (efface), allowing the fetus to move through the birth canal.
		In some cases, labor has to be "induced," which is a process of stimulating labor to begin.
		When a woman arrives at the hospital in labor, the medical staff may perform a physical examination of the abdomen to determine the size and position of the fetus, and an examination of the cervix.

		The story highlights one case where the Labor Ministry actually helped out one small group of workers, no doubt a small gesture to declare to the US public that conditions are improving, but help that will no doubt disappear the day after a trade agreement is signed.

	When Labor Begins
		True labor contractions become stronger, difficult to talk through, last longer, and are closer together as labor progresses.
		In active labor, the contractions are less than five minutes apart, lasting 45-60 seconds and the cervix is dilated three centimeters or more.
		Depending on your stage of labor, contraction pattern, how far dilated you are and fetal heart tracing, your physician or midwife may admit you to the hospital, or suggest returning home until the contractions are closer together.

		But unlike true labor, this so-called "false labor" doesn't cause significant progressive dilation of your cervix, and the contractions don't grow consistently longer, stronger, and closer together.
		Although true labor contractions may be irregular at first, over time they start coming at regular and shorter intervals, become increasingly more intense, and last longer.
		False labor contractions can be a real drag, interfering with your sleep and making you tired and cranky.
