Up Close and Personal With the Labor Movement

Apologies for the light posting - I am in outside of Pittsburgh, PA giving a speech to the United Steelworkers' executive meeting. The meeting has been terrific - there is really a lot of energy in the labor movement these days, despite the media's constant claims that unions are a thing of the past. The Steelworkers in particular have been on the frontlines of all the big battles over trade and wages, and they are really working to build some innovative new coalitions like the Apollo Alliance to fight the labor fights of the future.

In the next week, I hope to publish the speech I gave here - I think/hope readers will find it interesting. I'll be back at home late tonight, so posting will still be light until then (unless I am lucky and can find a wireless outlet in the Pittsburgh Airport)...
