A guide to the AFL-CIO, which came under new leadership in October 1994 following the New Voice campaign, held its first democratic election for top officers and set about reforming the union movement to take account of a changing economy. Topics discussed include: political action; women; immigrant workers; global strategy and international worker solidarity; and changing the union's image. Case studies of how labour won the strike against UPS, and the legislative fights to increase the minimum wage and defeat Fast Track Trade Authority, are also included.
