AFL-CIO spikes America@workBy Larry Duncan, editor UPPNET NewsThe official publication of the AFL-CIO, America@work, which was “designed to inspire and support front-line union leaders and activists” has had its plug pulled.

I don’t know of any epitaph for America@work provided by the AFL-CIO, but in lieu of that, here’s an article by Harry Kelber, written in January, on the eve of the publication’s demise. It may offer some insights into why America@work died so suddenly and was thrown into an unmarked grave. |
