Gang of Five’ Union Leaders Plot Radical Takeover of AFL-CIO LaborTalk (September 17, 2003)
By Harry Kelber
A group of five international union presidents, who call themselves the New Unity Partnership, are going ahead with their plan for drastic changes in the organizing methods, structure and functions of the AFL-CIO, without any discussion of their initiative within the labor movement, or even with their own members.
The five union leaders, who have banded together to promote their image of what the union movement should be, are: Andrew Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union; John Wilhelm, president of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees (HERE); Bruce Raynor, president of UNITE; Terence O’Sullivan, president of the Laborers, and Douglas McCarron, president of the Brotherhood of Carpenters, whose union withdrew from the AFL-CIO in March 2001.------------------------------------------- posted 6:21 AM :: reference link ::
