In a few days (once my research is completed) I plan to analyze and discuss this months quadrennial AFL-CIO convention and elections taking place in downtown Chicago.

The importance of this meeting cannot be stressed enough. The AFL-CIO, perhaps even the entire labor movement, is at a crossroads due to concerns that the federation’s largest union affiliate, the Service Employees International Union, along with the Teamsters and three other unions, will split from the AFL-CIO. Stay tuned.
