| Ah, the irony. The AFL-CIO/Change to Win split was supposed to be good news for corporations and bad news for organized labor. The opposite seems to be the case. Leaders of organized labor in Montana strike repeatedly optimistic notes in conversation about how unions are doing here.
And more great news comes out of Washington States where the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters have been absolutely kicking ass. As the executive secretary-treasurer writes, this isn't just good news for the individual workers involved -- it's also good news for the economy.
The reality when it really boils down to it is that over the long-run, we've got a choice. A cheap, barebones economy of shoddy work with massive inequality or a high-road economy powered by skilled, well-compensated workers who build infrastructure and products that will last over the long-term. The northwest appears to be choosing the highroad approach.
