Paul Garver commented on Paul Garver's blog post Labor Internationalism in USA"Hi Peter,
I think that Harold Meyerson edited the special report on labor internationalism. I find the articles accurate and informative (not surprising since I know most of the writers involved and was consulted by two of them for this issue). Of…"
peter waterman commented on Paul Garver's blog post Labor Internationalism in USA"Hi, Paul,

I recommend a Special Report on Labor Internationalism in the USA in the Dec. 2010 issue of the American Prospect, with articles by Harold Meyerson, Louis Uchitelle, David Moberg and Lance Compa. Jake Blumgart's article "Bonds of Steel" on the United Steelworkers is especially thorough and informative. The report is available on line athttp://www.prospect.org/cs/special_reportSee More
