"By the 1980s.. the international arm of the AFL-CIO was implicated in supporting death squads in Central America that killed real labor organizers. I was then a young adult working on environmental issues in Central America, and the fact that unionists that I was working with, who were already deeply engaged in a battle with a capitalist class of the most brutal and violent nature, now also had to deal with killer thugs funded by the unions of my country, made a deep impression on me."
