"The AFL-CIO's new domestic organizing strategy, engaging working people in their communities, provides a context to re-evaluate and redirect labor's foreign policy as well. For nearly twenty years many unions, and the Federation, have undertaken genuine international solidarity efforts well beyond tactical cross-border organizing. Domestic and international work must be closely linked in a single global economy. Redefining labor's foreign policy must be integral to the reorientation of the labor movement as a whole. The context, history, and institutional capacity for this purpose are at hand."
