AFL-CIO
This major confederation of 60 national and international labor unions represents more than 12.5 million working people. It has a long history of using popular economics and the philosophy of popular education to inform organizing efforts and leadership development, including “Common Sense Economics”. AFL-CIO Leadership Development Coordinator Kate Shaughnessy is a skilled facilitator and key proponent of this approach. kshaughnessy@aol.org
