The article focuses on the ambiguous results of improved union political activity and awareness in the U.S. UNITE, the textile and apparel union, claimed that their members were betrayed by Democrats who were not willing to support organizing campaigns and to fight for labor law reform and manufacturing jobs. In order to work on Republicans, unions should help moderate candidates mount primary challenges to the Republican members of the U.S. Congress who have union members in their districts. Labor is involved with political coalitions such as local branches of national networks and new civic participation groups focused on immigrant workers and local alliances.
