Trumka's Happy Labor Day All that the vice president promises union leaders is veiled by the euphemistic language of the candidate's "America's Working Families" agenda. In proposing "a more level playing field between management and worker during organizing drives," Gore is actually opposing management's power to demand secret ballots to determine whether workers really want union representation. "Protecting the rights of working families to participate in the political process" actually means eliminating the rights of workers to challenge political use of their union dues. Such promises are appreciated by the AFL-CIO, but what helps the labor barons most is the handling of the 1996 Teamsters election scandal. Gore has joined AFL-CIO President John Sweeney in ignoring Trumka's resort to the Fifth Amendment when asked by the FBI whether he approved an illegal $150,000 diversion of AFL-CIO funds. That was part of a clandestine money swap in 1996 involving the Clinton-Gore campaign and Carey's Teamster re-election effort. suntimes.com
