Antiwar Labor Pains
Cooper, Marc | December 9, 2002 issue

add to cart   close window

The article deals with the antiwar labor unions in the U.S. A small network of antiwar labor activists is coming together and making its voice and influence felt through organized lobbying inside the Central Labor Councils and state labor federations. It notes that the limited appeal of antiwar activity within unions is not only the responsibility of labor's cautious leadership but also of the peace movement in general and of some peace activists within labor. It mentions that many of the labor activists in the forefront of the Iraq peace movement are the same people who unsuccessfully tried to jump-start a similar movement in the wake of September 11 attacks.
