Four unions are forming a partnership to share resources and focus efforts on four key priorities – the Employee Free Choice Act, health care, jobs and fair trade. The Communications Workers of America, the United Steelworkers, the United Auto Workers and the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers say the new strategic partnership will work in "determined unity" to forge a political movement which will put workers rights and protections at the top of the national agenda.
