Look For The Union Label

It's great that union membership rose in 2007 for the first time in 25 years, and for those of us in California, it's even better that our state made for almost all the gains. I think the "new union" effort by Andy Stern and the SEIU to expand their membership to cover service workers is a major piece of this puzzle.

A vibrant union movement and a vibrant progressive movement are directly connected. This is excellent news.
