American Unions Form Alliance to Prevent Climate Disaster and Promote Prosperity
American Unions Form Alliance to Prevent Climate Disaster and Promote Prosperity
Description
A defense of the unions who have joined a PAC for the U.S. election 2016. In reference to the New York Times article, May 16, "Rift Between Labor and Environmentalists Threatens Democratic Turnout Plan”, the authors state: "The Times characterized this as a “rift between labor and environmentalists.” It is much better understood, however, as an effort by a small group of unions to retain their veto power within the AFL-CIO.”… “The great majority of unions that accepted the alliance with NextGen Climate should proudly defend it as a way to express this historic tradition of meeting their members’ needs by addressing the most pressing needs of society.”
