Labor Dispute

Labor titans in America are clashing over how to keep the union ship from sinking. Membership has been in steady decline for decades and wages and benefits have been taking a beating from the "China price."

Andrew Stern, the leader of the largest union in America, Service Employees International Union, is calling for a complete overhaul of big labor to better take on the challenges of the free-market globalizing world. He has the support of roughly 40 percent of the AFL-CIO membership and is pressing to gain a majority in July's elections.

Hear a conversation with Stern about America's labor dispute and his new vision for organized labor's future.
