...question now is what can it do now that it's joining up even more international workers. The power to negotiate individual bargaining contracts will remain with USW and Unite, mainly because of differing national and internal laws and regulations. But Gerard says there's a host of issues common to both unions that will keep the collective leadership busy. In sectors including steel, paper and oil, for example, both unions deal with some of the same companies. The merged union will be better able to ensure that a company can't reject defined benefits in one country that...

Bush recently pledged to cap the growth in U.S. emissions by 2025 - a goal that's not even in the same galaxy as that of his European counterparts.) Host nation Japan, the most energy-efficient big country in the world, is struggling to meet its Kyoto caps and is backing away from hard targets. Countries can't even agree on which year to employ as a baseline for emission reductions: 1990, which was used for the Kyoto Protocol, or a more...
