This article discusses the role of labor unions in foreign policy. This role is not a new one for American organized labor. The "labor statesman" has become such an accepted part of the U.S. way of life that all post-World War II administrations have received unswerving loyalty from the American Federation of Labor & Congress of Industrial Organizations leadership. Indeed, the virtually universal acceptance of cold-war diplomacy in American political life has been reinforced by the active support at home and abroad of the American labor movement. During the first Russian Revolution, in March 1917, American labor entered the stage of world diplomacy.
