AFL-CIO captured by the guilt-lefty complex.

Labor unions do seem to be further to the left these days on a lot of issues. I think that part of this is also that an increasing proportion of the union movement, as opposed to the AFL-CIO specifically, is in the public sector. Teachers are not worried about losing their jobs to immigrants, nor is your average government worker.

Very good point about teachers, et al. They can have the benefits of a union, and impose their unrelated guilt-oriented lobbying that undermines other unions and workers and feel good about it at the same time.

Well, it's funny, for I believe that some governments have hired illegal aliens for construction work. It's kind of odd when you see country roadwork being done a crew that is half-Mexican in an area that is only 7% Mexican.
