UK and US unions in merger talks
Amicus General Secretary Derek Simpson will talk to the US union
Amicus, a major union in the UK, is to discuss a possible merger with another union based in the US and Canada.
If agreed, it would bring another 1.2m members to Amicus, creating one of the biggest unions in the world with more than 3m members.
Amicus General Secretary Derek Simpson is due to meet officials from United Steel Workers in about a fortnight.
The BBC's Stephen Cape said it was the first time such an international merger has been mooted

Wow! All one big happy "left-wing" family, eh?
Almost mirrors all the corporate "right wing" mergers, takeovers & the like.
Some VERY large & ambitious "back-room" plans.
Anything to do with NAFTA?

What of CAFTA?

"u" - nion mergers & "UNI-ON" mergers.
Although they both must be two completely separate "issues" of course, eh? 
Well, thank God we at least still all have our respective national sovereignties. Whew! |
