	Ideas of the American Labor Movement
		American workers, far from being preoccupied with material gain, seem to have been inspired by a glorious idea: that those who labored were to control their economic destiny, and through such control preserve the American republic, the world's most remarkable experiment in popular liberty.
		The American revolutionaries viewed unchecked government powerit appeared to them in the form of George Ill‑as the greatest threat to personal liberty, and they were determined to establish a republic immune to such tyranny.
		These progressive trade unionists wanted each American worker to be paid wages high enough to escape poverty, to achieve security for himself and his family, and to participate in the satisfactions of an ever expanding and alluring consumer marketplace.

		American unionists, on the other hand, may prefer to believe in the virtues of unconstrained adversarial laborism, but when there is no participation--or an explicit rejection of partnership--and when work relations are dominated by conflict, the result is disastrous for the unions.
		Top American GM and Ford executives have made their names recently in Europe, where they have to sit alongside IG Metall unionists on the boards of GM and Ford subsidiaries in Germany.
		American unions play something of the same role in the Democratic party, but as the U.S. labor movement has grown relatively weaker, the Democrats have begun to take them for granted--except when they need financial contributions, get-out-the-vote drives, and volunteer phone banks.

	ZNet Commentary: Labor Day Reflections: Time as a Democracy Issue
		American workers suffer numerous deleterious consequences from the vicious cycle of work, spend, and commute: chronic anxiety, insomnia, depression, physical and mental illness, and insufficient time to spend with friends and loved ones or in self-nurturing activities.
		Not surprisingly, Americans resent the exceptionally large portion of their lives they are required to rent out to the employer class.
		This short-hours enthusiast wrote and spoke in a time when American workers often designated (when possible) one of their work crew to read aloud from newspapers while the rest toiled, reflecting a determination not to let the commands of capital overwhelm their capacity to stay current on the issues of the time.

		To Latin American banana unionists and their activist allies in the United States and Europe, the options are few and clear: improve the horrible human rights conditions for banana workers in Ecuador to stabilize the jobs and working conditions of Joaquin Escobar and other banana workers in the region.
		Other unionists see codes and monitoring as promotions of the "international community." This community is composed of staff and elected officials from international offices of national union centers, ILO staff, and some labor-oriented NGOs.
		These unionists seek to negotiate codes that meet the needs of workers who are trying either to establish unions or to maintain or strengthen a long-term union relationship with the same company.

		Colombia was singled out as the worse culprit, accounting for 201 killings or disappearances — a record number for the country and an increase of 25 percent from 2000.
		Unionists from the public services were hardest hit, suffering about 65 percent of the violations.
		The ICFTU said that although the Bogota government claimed the deaths were due to the armed conflict within its borders, most of the killings were carried out by paramilitary groups "which enjoy the tacit complicity of the security forces." Among Asian countries, China was attacked for its repressive measures against trade unions.

		American trade unionists and their allies have often looked with envy at the labor and social democratic parties in other countries, and long lamented the hemmed in quality of American progressive politics.
		American politics is actually quite porous, and a credible group of labor and community leaders can quickly make "independent" politics come to life pretty quickly.
		A Progressive Cleveland or Progressive LA or Progressive whatever could be formed in most American towns and cities tomorrow, run people for local office, and be coordinated with other efforts around the country without ever running into the traditional obstacles faced by third parties.

		The labor federation's Latin American arm, the American Institute for Free Labor Development (AIFLD), was especially notorious for its CIA connections and for siding with repressive governments, often against progressive unions.
		And if American unions were in fact to have international cooperation, an overhaul was necessary--because to that point the focus of the institutes had been not labor organizing but anticommunism.
		The choice to inform the traditionally isolationist American workforce of its international rights wasn't accidental; nor was the decision to kick off the effort on International Workers Day, which is usually ignored in the United States.

	California African American Union Leadership School
		In the 1970s and 80s, large numbers of African American workers lost their jobs during the collapse of the auto, steel and manufacturing industries.
		Unions with large African American workforces have continued that tradition recently: in 2000, the MTA bus drivers waged a successful strike in L.A.; 80,000 home healthcare workers organized a new union, SEIU 434B, and won a livable wage with health benefits; and the Charleston Five longshore workers beat tremendous odds.
		In a region boasting the fastest growing population in the nation, support for the development of future progressive, African American labor leaders is both timely and worthy of attention.

		As one of the first targets of so-called government by injunction, and because of his personality, Debs commanded the respect of American unionists and radicals, even those who did not accept his economic doctrines.

		But those American trade unionists that are slapped on the back by the Israeli bond sales staff shouldn't think that the bond sellers are all that selective with their praise and awards.
		Although he acknowledged that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is fueled by poverty and despair," he knowingly ignored the February Israeli bombing of the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions in Nablus.

		Early on in the discussions everyone decided that the demonstration was too "white" and that many of the unionists who were hopefully coming to Washington in buses were not.
