Starling, director of political affairs for the Tennessee AFL-CIO, says the international laborers are no threat."We want those people to come in and be part of the labor movement," Starling says."Most of us originated somewhere else.It's a land of opportunity."Local carpenters have had some success unionizing Hispanics, and Starling would like to see more new Americans in Tennessee unions, a development she says would make a lot of developers sweat.
