Labnet: May 22 panel - Splits in the Labor Movement, Then and Now - New York

[labnet at lists.labourhistory.net]

Rough economic times, changing demographics, the reinvention of work and
workplaces, conflicting models for moving forward - both in the 1930s
and the 2000s one result has been to split the labor movement. AFL vs.
CIO --- AFL-CIO vs. Change to Win, how far do the parallels hold up?
