Emma Cordover of Women Rule at Politico writes: Across the U.S., Organized Labor is having a moment: Historic United Auto Workers wins (and some losses) in the Union-resistant South, Amazon Factory organizing, Hollywood’s SAG-AFTRA Strike and Starbucks Workers’ Union Fight have dominated headlines this year.  “I am riding that wave and loving every minute of it,” National AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler tells Women Rule.  As waves of Labor Activism sweep the country, Women of Color are leading Union growth, while Union Women in construction and manufacturing are raising Labor and Safety Standards for all Workers.  Within Unions - spaces once largely dominated by White Men - leaders say they are pushing Women of all races and Men of Color to take on leadership roles and incentivizing Women to join previously male-dominated industries.  Contrary to the stereotype of the flannel-wearing, work-boot-stomping Union Guy, Shuler, says “the reality is the Labor Movement is the largest organization of Working Women in the country.  We represent (6.5 million) Women - so we are a Women’s Movement.”
