"Apparently, a concern for others is self-love at its least attractive, while greed is now a sign of the highest altruism. But then to reverse, periodically, the meanings of words is a very small price to pay for our vast freedom not only to conform but to consume." Gore Vidal

Change To Win
Apparently the Change To Win coalition is undergoing some, well, labor pains. Other than the progress of the SEIU in organizing Houston, and UNITE HERE, which won some good hotel worker contracts this past year, the Teamsters have failed to organize much, the Laborers' have done squat (so far as I can tell) and so have the Carpenters. The UFCW continues to take hits, and while they've tried valiantly to organize Smithfield foods, it hasn't happened so far.
