Union Voice: Readers Write
Monday, July 26, 2010(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
“I saw the mention in Friday’s ‘Weekend Labor History’ of the
Alliance for Labor Action (ALA),” writes AFSCME Council 26 Executive Director
Carl Goldman. “When I was a student in Montgomery College I interviewed the
ALA Director for a school project. While I had been active in supporting the
United Farm Workers since my senior year in high school, this was my first
exposure to an organization of unionists that focused on applying specifically
progressive politics to the labor movement beyond their own union. The need for
progressive organizations of labor and about labor are no less needed today than
they were back then.” Whether you love Union City, found an error or have
