The AFL-CIO “Solidarity Center” & Why Is Trump Funding It?

Zoom event

LEPAIO Panel

This year, Trump and the Republicans agreed to re-fund the National Endowment For Democracy (NED) which funds the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center with $71 million. The “Solidarity Center” has received over $1 billion from the US government yet it has never made a report to the AFL-CIO members whose name it uses about what the money is for and where is it going.
This forum will look at the history and role of the “Solidarity Center” and recent developments in this center and why this must be an issue for unions and the workers of the United States.

Initial speakers:
Frank Hammer – UAW 909 Retired President
Carol Lang – AFT PSC Delegate & CUNY Professor
Kim Scipes – Former printer, University Professor & AFL-CIO Researcher
Sponsored by Labor Education Project On The AFL-CIO International Operation
