National union leaders set a timeline for change By Mark Gruenberg, Workday Minnesota
Stern first started his campaign for change at SEIU's convention in June, when he said the federation must be "reformed or replaced" because while workplaces, employers and corporations changed, labor has not. It's too loose, he said then.
Stern added to the controversy by telling reporters just before the Democratic convention in July that a Kerry win might harm reform efforts both in the Democratic Party and in labor.
Sweeney said on Nov. 10 the federation agrees with many of Stern's goals, and has started to implement some of them. And Steel Workers President Leo Gerard strongly supported putting health care atop the agenda. USWA, and some other unions, support single-payer Canadian-style national health care.------------------------------------------- posted 9:43 AM :: reference link ::
