US labor movement debate

Broadening the discussion

The differences between the AFL-CIO and CtW programs are minor, not enough to rip apart the labor movement and ignite raids among unions.

We offer the following which deepen the discussion. To comment go to the new SEMCOSH Web Log:


  • Atkins & Cohen: Proposal for a new TUEL

  • Black Commentator: Black Labor's Voice Amidst the Madness

  • Dudzic: Labor Party & Political Vision

  • Early: Labor's Midlife Crisis

  • Early: Reutherism Redux

  • Ehrenreich: Tiny Labor

  • Gaspasin & Yates: Labor Movements: Is There Hope?

  • Kelber: On Change to Win

  • Kirk: Can Labor go Beyond Divesity Lite?

  • Onasch: A Top Banana Split?

  • Tucker: US Labor in Crisis

    • The fate of union safety & health

    The AFL debates have led to the elimination of the AFL National Safety Department. Some articles:

  • Barab: The New AFL-CIO: Wither Safety & Health?

  • Barab: Open Letter To John Sweeney

  • Coyne: Labor Federation Shifts Priorities

  • Ditz: ... and fight like hell

    • AFL-CIO

    Although the split happened and both the AFL-CIO and NUP-CtW have shut down their discussion forums the AFL-CIO has been wise enough to maintain the pages listing the proposals that the discussion generated. Discussion site. Proposals are here.
