While United in Politics, Unions face Internal Rifts by Steven Greenhouse, ZNet
Some labor leaders say they expect the New Unity Partnership to pressure Mr. Sweeney not to run again to make way for new blood. Many say they expect John Wilhelm, the longtime president of the hotel and restaurant employees union and a leader of the New Unity Partnership, to seek to succeed Mr. Sweeney. But if Mr. Sweeney steps aside, several industrial unions are expected to back Richard Trumka, the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s secretary-treasurer.
"There's no question that the labor movement should talk about and focus on change, but our emphasis right now has to be on the election of John Kerry," Mr. Sweeney said. "We have had some terrible times over the last four years with the anti-worker, anti-union policies of the Bush administration."------------------------------------------- posted 7:07 AM :: reference link ::
