It is now clear that some departments of the AFL-CIO, most notably the Industrial Union Department and the Food and Allied Service Trades Department, have taken that recommendation seriously. So too have a number of AFL-CIO affiliated unions, most notably the Service Employees, Steelworkers, and Teamsters. As a result, the corporate campaign has become an integral part of labor's arsenal of weapons for use in confrontations with management in a substantial and growing segment of the US economy.
