It is a possibility, as remote as my being invited to go along on a space walk, that people at the UN would ever ask my opinion on any subject. However, if that should occur, here is what I might say:

The crisis of the AFL-CIO is the result of politics, including the politics of collaboration with employers and opposition to militant “grass-root” organizing. Over the past 50 years the AFL-CIO trade union bureaucrats have intervened against militant local unions, surrendered past (…)
