A Bangladeshi Worker's Dream

"If I could earn 4500 taka a month ($75 or 37 cents/hr).
For me this would be a dream. I could afford to buy milk for my baby, and baby food. I could repay my loans. I could buy fish and fruit sometimes. I could buy a new dress, so I could go out once in my life
without having to wear my dirty dress from work."

from testimony of Maksuda, a Bangladeshi garment worker, from a tour organized by the National Labor Committee

and

Labor Must Organize or Die
with
Tom Woodruff , Executive VP, Service Employees International Union in charge of National Organizing.

Tom talked at Cornell University Global Union Forum about the current crisis in the union movement and the pressing need for unions to restructure the
AFL-CIO including forming global unions and the need to formulate an AFL-CIO wide strategy to organize Wal-Mart.The SEIU is leading a coalition
of unions called the New Unity Partnership which is putting forth these and a number of controversial proposals to revitalize the union movement.
