		After talking with Eric Bernay, the Almanacs decided to record an album of union songs.
		"Talking Union" went on sale in June 1941; it became the Almanac Singers' most enduring album, remaining in the Keynote catalog until Mercury absorbed the label in 1948.
		That version -- drenched in echo and using an expurgated "Talking Union" -- is the one best known to listeners.

		Judith Stepan-Norris and Maurice Zeitlin / Talking Union
		Talking Union gives us the exceptional opportunity to hear members of this local tell about their activism as they experienced it.
		Against a backdrop of the depression and entrenched racism, history was made by courageous individuals whose rich, eloquent stories illuminate the character and views of others like them across the nation, from all backgrounds: left, right, and center; fl and white; native and foreign born, Jew and gentile.

	New York Daily News - City News - MTA & union return to table, but no deal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Union head Roger Toussaint announced a selective strike to begin Monday against two private bus lines in Queens that are in the process of being taken over by the MTA, but are not yet covered by the law outlawing strikes by public transit employees.
		Union sources said the MTA's pay package was rejected during a raucous meeting where the local's executive board voted 25 to 14 to keep the clock ticking on negotiations and push off any strike until Monday.
		The major sticking point for the union, however, has been the MTA's insistence that the retirement age for new hires be raised from 55 to 62.

	Talking union at Labor Notes
		The challenges facing labor today were clear from the fact that many of the mainstays of Labor Notes conferences of the past--members of reform groups in unions in the steel, auto and freight industries--were fewer in number.
		This was a reflection of a generational transition in the working class, the heavy toll of plant closings and layoffs, the relentless pressure on rank-and-file dissidents from the union bureaucracy and the small number of strikes in recent years.
		One of the main sessions included Martha Ahmed, a rank-and-file activist of the successful union drive at the Fletcher Allen hospital in Burlington, Vt., and Karen Joseph, a staff member of the New Jersey Education Association local that defied a judge’s injunction to go on strike in 2001 despite the jailing of 230 teachers.
