Synopsis

"This book blows the lid off the AFL-CIO's extensive international efforts to forestall the formation of a militant independent workers' movement in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Europe -- an effort that harms workers both in this country and overseas. Beth Sims painstakingly details how the AFL-CIO and its four international institutes, along with its International Affairs Department and European office, routinely work in partnership with government agencies and conservative private organizations. Not surprisingly, the result of this collaboration between labor, government, and corporate power is a sophisticated attempt to link international workers into a don't-rock-the-boat, pro-U.S., pro-business coalition that is incapable of standing up to the power of transnational capital. Calling for an end to the AFL-CIO's betrayal of international workers' solidarity, Sims argues for a new foreign policy for labor."
