AMERICA'S FASCIST LABOR UNIONS

For alittle more on the very important and critical role of the issue, above, America's Fascist labor unions. America's mafia style SEIU, "Change to Win," international labor union is a major Obama backer.
And SEIU (President, Andy Stern) has been in a hostile conflict for quite some time with Puerto Rico's largest labor union, the PR Teachers Union, which elected socialist leadership and is opposed to privatization.
The following link on this conflict has some very good background.
A note before reading.
If you skip down to the bottom entry, dated, February 5, 2008 and the one below it, January 23, 2008, FIRST you will see that the PR Teachers Federation Unaffiliated, detached, disassociated itself with the national, umbrella organization, AFT (American Federation of Teachers) after a long, protracted, bitter struggle.
Then, the PR government refused to recognize/certify the newly independent PR Teachers Union and they were subsequently "raided," an attempted hostile takeover by SEIU, with the blessings of PR's Governor. After reading the bottom two entries, return to the top of the blog to follow these events,

It's important to understand that this represents a PATTERN, not an isolated, unique event.
Now, the AFT, named above, from which the PR Teacher's union disassociated themselves, is affiliated to another national, umbrella labor federation/organization, the AFL-CIO.
The AFT has its own glossy publication that gets mailed to all its members. In the AFL's current Summer 2008 edition, they have a four part section under the heading, "Supporting the Spread of Freedom."
I can't link directly to this section, it doesn't seem to work, but, if you go to the following link, simply click onto "Summer 2008," and you will see the 4 articles named under the heading above.
These 4 articles represent a tour-de-force in Orwellian double/triple/quadruple speak, propaganda, brainwashing and revisionist history.
Since this type of propaganda and jargon is ubiquitous, I would not bother to note it, except for the fact that it is the official position of the largest teachers union in the country, the AFT, and, their umbrella organization, the AFL-CIO, as well, of course, as the mafia SEIU, which is even more horrible, if such a thing is possible.
You can easily see, as well, from and to which other organizations these articles are derived and their people affiliated, such as the misnomer, Freedom House, Progressive Policy Institute, etc.

Further, SEIU and the AFL-CIO are attached to the Democratic Party, one and the same, synonymous, an extension of one another's policies.
And, as you will readily see from the AFT publication, above, as well as SEIU, this is what is exported, abroad, their previous exploits about which I have spoken in the past regarding the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Poland's Solidarity, etc.
They make no secret of this.
They are extremely proud of their role and what they've done.
