Beat the Devil
Cockburn, Alexander | July 1, 1996 issue

In late March, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), stepping to a brighter future under its new president, John Sweeney, endorsed U.S. President Bill Clinton for re-election. In exchange, Clinton offered nothing, nor was anything extracted from him. While the AFL-CIO stumps for Clinton, and a supposed labor militant like Dennis Rivera of New York's hospital workers insists, as he did earlier this year, that Clinton's reelection is the most important project of labor in the past fifty years.
