SWEENEY WANTS FOUR MORE YEARS Will AFL-CIO’s 2005 Convention Be Rigged?
LaborTalk by Harry Kelber
Unless the convention voting rules are changed, the 51-member Executive Council, which has been in office for 10 years, will be reelected for another four years, even though most of the Council members are not known, never say anything publicly and have never had to campaign for their position.
These sham elections for leadership positions have been going on for decades, because of a provision in the AFL-CIO’s Constitution that gives international unions as many convention votes as the number of their members, while state federations and central labor councils are limited to one vote each.------------------------------------------- posted 6:35 AM :: reference link ::
