AFL-CIO Solidarity Center Funded By US Government Warns Of Bankruptcy In DC Court Filing

In a Federal Court filing and declaration on March 6, 2025 the Director of the NED funded AFL-CIO Solidarity Center Shawna Bader-Blau warns that unless the Trump government continues to fund the National Endowment for Democracy NED they will have to declare bankruptcy of the government funded operation.

Kim Scipes, a writer, Professor of Sociology Emeritus at Purdue University Northwest and researcher about the AFL-CIO international operations talks about what this development means for working people and unionists and the history of this operation which has a yearly budget of over $70 million from the National Endowment for Democracy and USAID. It has received over $1 billion from the US government and has refused to report where this massive amount of money was spent.

Kim Scipes is author of KMU: Building Genuine Trade Unionism in the Philippines, 1980–1994 (New Day Books, 1996) and AFL-CIO’s Secret War Against Developing Country Workers: Solidarity or Sabotage?
