You welcome. Related: Labor Accountability Project, the report details the close relationships between union leaders and anti-war activists. Click here or on image at right to download 28-page pdf of Special Report.
The report analyzes the alliance between union activists and Communist-allied organizations such as Code Pink, A.N.S.W.E.R., and United for Peace and Justice as the culmination of a process that began more than 30 years ago. Whereas organized labor, under the leadership of AFL-CIO President George Meany (1955-79) and Lane Kirkland (1979-95) promoted liberal anti-Communism, federation President John Sweeney has virtually ratified an embrace of anti-Americanism.
The paper introduces the reader to the tight and incestuous anti-war network that opposes U.S. interests, not just U.S. policy. Locals of such prominent unions as the Service Employees International Union, the Sheet Metal Workers and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers have joined the activities of the network.

The Report concludes that Congress should repeal the forced-dues collection clause contained in the National Labor Relations Act so that rank-and-file union members are not required to subsidize subversion.
