U.S. labor unions in 2007 took more steps to organize globally and to try to come up with a strategy and the means to mobilize against the multinational corporate assault on workers rights. In April United Steelworkers President Leo gerard announced that America's largest industrial union is exploring a merger with the big U.K. union Amicus.
[Gerard]: “Today is a very exciting day for working people in North America and working people in the U.K. But I think it's also going to grow into a tremendous day for the future of working people everywhere. We're committed that as corporations globalize and global capital tries to flex its muscles that we need to build a counter force."
