Both organizations advocate policies and legislation favorable to workers in the United States and Canada, and take an active role in politics favoring the Democratic party but not exclusively so. The AFL-CIO is especially concerned with global trade issues.

According to some Senators 'costly labor agreements' including pension and health plans put the U.S. automakers at a disadvantage to foreign companies ...

Almost everyone knows about the incredible impact the three related religions Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have on the world. With 3.3 billion combined adherents today, they are a motivating factor for much of the activity in the modern world. They have achieved a level of widespread acceptance, dominance, and influence that is truly unparalleled in human history. But are these three religions factually correct and valid? According to author Evit Kejbo Nosrep, they are not. And in his new book "Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are Wrong," he shows why, by dealing directly with the contents of their scriptures--the ...

Many skeptics say that a socialist
society could never exist in America. They say that the working class and poor, who make
up 90 percent of the country, are too fragmented. They say that Americans are greedy and
unwilling to join together in common struggle. The constant oppression of the working
class by the capitalists has shattered many people’s hopes for solidarity - or so
they would like us to think! Every working class man and woman on this planet has had
enough with the constant attacks from the ruling class - all it takes is one spark to
ignite the fires of revolution. Some say human nature prevents a socialist ...

The National Football League is all about running the ball, right? That's what you hear. Yet for two consecutive seasons, the last-ranked rushing team made the Super Bowl -- Arizona in 2008 and Indianapolis in 2009 reached the ultimate game despite having the league's worst rushing offense those seasons. True, both lost, but 30 of the 32 NFL franchises gladly would have traded places with the team that lost the Super Bowl. And last season, the AFC's two best teams, winning the first-round byes -- San Diego and Indianapolis -- were 31st and 32nd overall, respectively, in rushing. Thus you don't have to run the ...

flight attendant who quit his job in magnificent style on Aug. 9, is not that an airline worker would snap after an encounter with an unruly passenger on a midmorning Pittsburgh-to-JFK run. It's that so much of the rest of the country applauded. While possibly committing several serious violations of federal law, Slater's every move—using the plane's P.A. system to curse at a rude customer whose bag had landed on his head, politely thanking the other passengers, grabbing two beers from the galley before sliding down the inflatable emergency chute and sprinting toward home—seemed to spring from the ...

Forms of child labor, including indentured servitude and child slavery, have existed throughout American history. As industrialization moved workers from farms and home workshops into urban areas and factory work, children were often preferred, because factory owners viewed them as more manageable, cheaper, and less likely to strike. Growing opposition to child labor in the North caused many factories to move to the South. By 1900, states varied considerably in whether they had child labor standards and in their content and degree of enforcement. By then, American children worked in large numbers in mines, glass factories, ...

The union negotiated national uniform wage scales on an annual basis; helped regularize working hours, workload levels and work speeds; and helped improve working conditions.

The AA was accommodating of technological advance as well, even when such changes led to large numbers of layoffs or the dissolution of local affiliates. At almost no point, even after several losing strikes and its effective dismemberment, did the AA see this is a problem. Foner, p. 375; Brody, p. 51.
