AFL-CI(Uh)O

Hard hats were passed out on Capitol Hill yesterday by the AFL-CIO (D.C. Building Trades Council).

Embarrassingly they bore a Made In China sticker (pictured).

Unionists were on the Hill to lobby for the Employee Free Choice Act, or Card Check.

“Everyone should have the right to join the union.”

The largest trade union in the world is in China, the All-China General Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) and last year a new labor law forced most companies - including most foreign owned ones - to create an ACFTU chaptered trade union within them.

Maybe it wasn't such an Uh-Oh after all and the scientific community is united in that fact.
