That's what it appears to some Senate Republicans:
Senate Republicans say the Labor Department appears to be spending millions in taxpayer dollars to establish labor unions and promote collective bargaining in foreign countries and are asking top Obama administration officials for a full audit.
[...]
The purported activities were conducted by the agency’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs.
The bureau for the past several years has purportedly made numerous awards -- worth millions of dollars -- to the United Nations, the Solidarity Center and other similar groups, “whose stated objective is to help establish labor unions in foreign countries," the senators said.
They also said the bureau recently awarded a Colombian labor organization $1.5 million to help workers improve their collective bargaining rights and $2.2 million to the Solidarity Center, an AFL-CIO organization, to strengthen unions in Haiti and Peru.
In addition, the bureau purportedly awarded a $1.5 million grant to an international development company in 2011 to assist labor unions in Vietnam engage in collective bargaining, the lawmakers said.

One of the creepiest clandestine movements in the world would be the global unions movement. The same people who pull your heart strings over here are doing it elsewhere, too, laundering money through governments (mostly the U.S. government) to pay their top bosses six figure salaries. The creepy thing is that the future they foresee is one where you cannot get a job anywhere in the world without joining the one-world worker's union. Workers of the world unite! Sound familiar? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers_of_the_world,_unite!
