U.S. labor movement does not only rest local, but influences the world behind its borders deeply. I wonder how would the Presidency of Shuler and the continuation of the federation to mingle with political change, and the local unions to do the organizing work impact the labor movement at large. Will it render federations, confederations and other higher structures irrelevant to the laborer on the ground? Maybe I am a bit too pessimistic..
At the same time, imagine AFL-CIO under Nelson, and imagine what she could do for international labor movements..
