ACILS

Criticism

The Solidarity Center's government funding faces criticism from multiple sides. Congressman Ron Paul sees the NED funding recipient as a "foreign policy loose cannon" that does not act in US interests. [1] Conversely, critiques from within the AFL-CIO maintain that the funding gives the government too much control over the labor federation. The California AFL-CIO submitted a resolution to fund international programs only with union and member money to avoid appearing "to be an agent of the U.S. government and its foreign policies."[2] This leads to accusations of hypocrisy since ACILS advocates for trade unions to be free of government control in other countries.

But the report, “A Review of U.S. Policy Toward Venezuela -- November 2001-April 2002,” added that the endowment, the Pentagon and other U.S. assistance programs “provided training, institution-building and support to individuals and organizations understood to be actively involved in the brief ouster of the Chávez government,” although there was “no evidence that this support directly contributed, or was intended to contribute, to that event.”]


The Solidarity Center faced multiple accusations of helping to destabilize democratically elected governments in Latin America. In Venezuela, the primary local beneficiary of support is the Confederación de Trabajadores de Venezuela (CTV). The President of the CTV, Carlos Ortega, was a major actor in the attempted coup in April 2002.[3] The AFL-CIO—that the Solidarity Center was consciously and actively involved in helping to lay the groundwork for the coup attempt, and that the AFL-CIO has repeated denied CTV President Carlos Ortega's involvement in the coup attempt.[4] President Hugo Chavez accused the NED organizations of providing funding to “anti-government” civil society organizations in Venezuela.[5] Venezualen government officials also claimed that the operations there were funded partially through cocaine trafficking to undermine the government beyond what Congressional allocations would allow. [6]

In Haiti, the Solidarity Center has only supported a labor organization that agitated for the ousting of the democratically elected government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide. In contrast, some of the largest unions in Haiti that supported Lavalas and Arsitide government policies received no attention or aid at all.

Following the 2004 overthrow of Haiti's democratically elected government the Solidarity Center began two State Department funded programs with the Batay Ouvriye, in which $449,965.00 was spent. After the coup, between 10,000 and 15,000 public sector workers (often workers who were members of Lavalas) were fired, with many coming under persecution and fleeing into exile. While the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center began a large program with the Batay Ouvriye, it failed to engage in any single investigation of the 26 months of public sector labor persecution.

One high-ranking Solidarity Center official explained, during the summer of 2005, that these workers affiliated with the ousted government were "revolutionary ideologues". Harry G Kamberis, Senior advisor of the AFL-CIO's Solidarity Center explained that the Solidarity Center provides information to the U.S. State Department and the NED. He also noted that supporting the Batay Ouvriye fits within "U.S. Strategic interests".

The F. W. Woolworth Company Building is a historic department store building located in downtown Wilmington, Delaware.

History

From 1940 to 1997, the F. W. Woolworth Company operated the store, this location being one of the last to close. The building then housed a Happy Harry's drug store and pharmacy for several years until that company was purchased by Walgreens in 2007. Walgreens continues to operate the acquired Happy Harry's stores, including the Market Street store, under the Happy Harry's name.[7] The building was purchased by a subsidiary of BPG Property Group in 2008 who now leases the location back to Walgreens.

Architecture

This former Woolworth's in Seattle uses similar architectural elements.

Designed by company architect H. W. Stakes, the art deco building uses steel frame construction with a masonry curtain wall. The facade on the 2nd and 3rd stories displays alternating peach and cream vertical stripes of terra cotta tile with lotus motifs.[8] The building has a grey medallion with a raised "W" on the chamfered corner on 9th and Market.[9]

When a Woolworth's store, the interior had two sales floors, the current ground floor and the bargain basement. The escalators to the basement floor are still visible in the store.

In 1959, Woolworth added a third story which appeared in the original blue prints. BPG has plans to renovate the building's upper floors and to add an additional two stories to the building for use as apartments.

Location

The building stands at the shopping intersection of 9th and Market streets a block off Rodney Square at the heart of the central business district. Woolworths also operated another store four blocks away at 504 Market Street. That second location now houses the Delaware History Museum.[10]

History

The AFL-CIO established ACILS in 1997. The Solidarity Center was created through the consolidation of four labor institutes: the American Institute for Free Labor Development, the Asian-American Free Labor Institute, the African-American Labor Center, and the Free Trade Union Institute. All of those earlier organizations' activities focused less on unionization than anti-communism, often in close coordination with the CIA.[1] AFL-CIO President John Sweeney merged and renamed the organization in a self-conscious effort to make a clean break with the human rights abuses perpetuated by the federation's institutes during the Cold War.[2]

The Delaware Academy of Science founded The Iron Hill Musuem in 1967 as natural history museum in Newark, Delaware.

Academy founded in 1962.

Collections

Events

Since XXX, the museum has hosted an Archaeology Festival each spring.[4] The museum had a major expansion in 2005 to add educational and exhibit space.

School house

Pierre S. DuPont The Newark Special School District donated the unused school house to the Academy in 1967.[3]

Grounds

The name of the location stems from iron mining on the site and nearby Chestnut Hill. Four different open pits were worked from 1703 to 1910. Today the musuem includes an exhibit on local mining and tours of the iron mine preserve.[5]

The museum's land and the adjacent Iron Hill Park serve as a popular location for casual sex from nearby I-95 and results in frequent New Castle County police presence at night.
