Family Feud III: The Future of the AFL-CIO
The debate that’s raging within the ranks of the labor leadership and which is threatening to break up the federation focuses a lot on structure and use of resources and on how labor can turn around it’s declining fortunes. Many commentators have said that it’s leaving out a lot: the rank and file, the issue of union democracy and the problem of apathy. Two commentators look at some of these criticisms, then we open it up for a few calls from listeners. As you will see, many people are quite passionate about this debate.

· Call-ins from listeners
Judy Ancel and Jeff Humfeld host.
