Jeremy Sherman Quoted in Chicago Sun-Times

A business article ("Union takes message to TV ") in the April 25, 2006 Chicago Sun-Times reported that "The breakaway Change to Win labor federation invested roughly $500,000 in television ads running here and nationally spotlighting what it labels a vanishing middle class. The ads are part of an effort to raise workers' living standards through organizing, a campaign that includes rallies here and around the country. . . . The campaign seeks family-supporting wages, affordable health care, retirement security and the freedom to join unions, federation representatives said. It is evidence Change to Win is dedicating more resources to organizing, said Jeremy Sherman, national chairman of labor and employment practices at Seyfarth Shaw, which counsels employers. But he labeled the campaign a "public relations effort," and said he's yet to see any indication it will translate "into meaningful success in organizing employees.' "
