After Castro took over Cuba and destroyed the labor movement an organization was formed with help of the AFL-CIO call The American Institute for Free (noncommunist) Labor Development (AIFLD). It had offices throughout Latin America and worked to strengthen non communist labor groups and cooperative organizations. It was accused of being a CIA front. I wonder if AFL-CIO is doing something similar now. I know a lot of FReepers are anti union, but think about this before you attack.
