The Cornell Institute is hardly an independant study group.

Quote:

The GLI is part of Cornell University’s
School for Industrial and Labor
Relations (ILR), the leading U.S.
university program specializing in labor
relations. Through research, education
and training and policy development,
the GLI works with trade unions in
the U.S. and internationally to develop
solutions to major social, economic
and environmental challenges. The
goal of the Institute is to help union
officers, staff and activists gain a deeper
understanding of the policies and
institutions that shape today’s world,
assist in bringing unionists based in
different countries into contact with
each other for meaningful discussion
on strategy and policy, and facilitate
dialogue between unions, civil society
organizations and movements
committed to global justice.
They're about as slanted as the other side is.
