LaborTalk for November 26, 2003 By Harry Kelber
You’d never believe it, unless you were there and saw it with your own eyes. And it happened, in all places, the AFL-CIO’s 2001 convention in Las Vegas.
Sitting in the convention hall were the 22 delegates from the Service Employees International Union, each entitled to cast 57,887 votes. Not far away was the delegate from the California Labor Federation, representing 2.1 million members from 1100 local unions. He was limited to only one vote.
Each of the 9 delegates of the Laborers’ International Union had 34,000 votes, while the delegate from the New York Central Labor Council, representing 1.2 million members in 400 local unions was allotted one vote.------------------------------------------- posted 7:31 PM :: reference link ::
