SEATTLE, Washington - Up the
Pacific Coast from California to Washington, through the heartland in
Texas and Illinois, and over to the Atlantic Seaboard in New Jersey and
New York, local trade unions and mainly immigrant workers centres are
experimenting with new modes of cooperation.
In some places the form
has been an organisational alliance through the local labour council.
In others, they are joining forces on ad hoc projects that give both
groups traction on common goals.
