Yes, the AFL-CIO has an interesting history. For one thing, it has helped sponsor anti-labor violence around the world.

One ex-AFL-CIO leader is now running a pro-sweatshop advocacy group:

<<< A recent report from the General Accounting Office reports nearly one and a half million dollars in government funds for AIFLD operations in Haiti directed at subordinating the unions to the US occupation and to the demand of the multinationals for the privatization of state enterprises. >>>

And agitating against any pro-labor leader that pops up in Latin America. For example, the AFL-CIO was deeply involved in the coup that brought Pinochet to power:

I am an American Zionist Jew, and I love having all that power over your side. It builds my ego to know that our small numbers can dominate your huge numbers in every way.

Keep crying about our great powers. You will NEVER be able to complete against us. Year after year, your side is always complaining about the tiny number of Jews controlling the entire American political system. We are greatly outnumbered, but we keep on winning.

Thanks for the compliment. You have warmed this Zionist's heart! <g>
