Things I intend to work on

The road to hell is paved with ...

• Congress of Industrial Organizations - no or poor inline citations
• Sidney Hillman - no or poor inline citations
• International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union - no or poor inline citations
• David Dubinsky single source
• Herbert Hill
• Albuquerque, New Mexico - huge gap in history: it skips from founding to a blurb about the railroad and then heads straight to the 20th century
• Wilhelm Heinrich Riehl looks like it was lifted from George L. Mosse "The Crisis of German Ideology" (1964). Though referenced, some of the sentences may be unattributed quotes. Could stand to have the details from the German version translated

If I get really interested in reading about <gasp> commies in the labor movement

• Communists in the U.S. Labor Movement (1919-1937) (does anyone know why this and the next are split up?)
• Communists in the U.S. Labor Movement (1937-1950) (at least this one has references)
• Bringing the Filippo Corridoni page over from the Italian wiki
