Postcard from Las Vegas
I got another "Wish You Were Here'' postcard in the mail the other day, this one from Las Vegas, site of the Change to Win Organizing Convention. Change to Win is a coalition of labor unions that formed in 2005 as an alternative to the AFL-CIO.
The postcard had a photo of the MGM Grand Hotel on the front, where the convention was held. On the back, it read:
"Dear Union Member,
The tables are hot! And we aren't playing "Change'' to win - we're playing with wads of big bills (your dues $). When we win, we get to keep the cash. Only in America! We guess you're the loser. Hey - maybe someday you'll be a union big shot.
- The Change to Win guys
The postcard was sent by the Center for Union Information, a group that claims it isn't anti-union. It says it opposed to undemocratic unions whose leaders abuse their power, often at the expense of their membership. Its Web site, http://www.unionfacts.com/index.cfm, is a good read.
