From Jon Flanders in MRZine:
The cold split that just occurred in the AFL-CIO has opened up a new page for US labor.
As Bill Fletcher has observed in several excellent articles on the issue, the “debate” leading up to the split took place far over the heads of the members of the unions who pay the salaries of the leaders.
Now those of of us on the ground of labor — the activists on the shop floor, the people who do the Jimmy Higgins work of unions, as officers of locals or active members, the people who show up on picket line rallies and labor events — are confronted with a bizarre scenario.
