Unions UNITE HERE for greater power By Roberta Wood, People's Weekly World
Raynor and Wilhelm argued for a “strategic” approach to organizing, claiming that the current structure of the labor movement “is in the way of empowering workers.” They are part of a controversial new formation, the New Unity Partnership, that demands a radical restructuring of the AFL-CIO to create fewer, stronger unions with jurisdictions and organizing plans that take on whole industries. UNITE HERE will reach out to workers around the globe, said Wilhelm. “Workers of the world must indeed unite.” Convention speakers included leaders of the other NUP unions, Terrence O’Sullivan of the Laborers Union, Andrew Stern of the Service Employees and Doug McCarron of the Carpenters, which has withdrawn from the AFL-CIO.------------------------------------------- posted 6:36 AM :: reference link ::
