Labor Leaders to Look at Restructuring By Amy Joyce and Thomas B. Edsall, Washington Post
'Putting 'new' between the words 'build' and 'strength' is not a strategy. It's the oldest marketing ploy in the book,' said Rick Sloan, a spokesman for R. Thomas Buffenberger, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, who is one of the harshest critics of Stern's reorganization proposals.
Stern has been publicly discussing who would support him if he decides to leave the AFL-CIO. He indicated he could count on Douglas J. McCarron, general president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, to back him if he withdrew from the federation. McCarron has left the AFL-CIO.
Organized labor has been on a steady slide since the mid-1950s, when one of three workers was a member of a union. The decline sharply accelerated during the Reagan administration, which broke the federal air traffic controllers union. Last year, only 12.9 percent of the workforce was organized.------------------------------------------- posted 6:58 AM :: reference link ::
