A number of years ago (before the 1999 WTO meeting), I organized a regional alliance of environmental and labor organizations to respond to an international trade meeting in Seattle. I've been involved in numerous coalitions of that nature, on both trade and energy issues and I've mentioned such coalitions here from time to time. I've always felt that this was a critical divide for both movements to bridge in order to be effective. So, it was with some delight that I noticed the chills I was feeling as I read Sierra Magazine's profile of Leo Gerard, the head of the steelworkers' union in the US. It seems that the energy issue may bring us together after all.
