Banner down

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports the AFL-CIO has removed the giant EFCA banner which has hung for a year on the outside of the labor federations Washington headquarters. While this symbolic gesture is greeted with pleasure in Chamberland, it likely means that labor is shifting away from its public campaign to amend the National Labor Relations Act only to focus on less visible change through rule-making and other actions by the NLRB.
