Unions Repeat Threats to Leave AFL-CIO By LEIGH STROPE, AP
Tom Buffenbarger, president of the International Association of Machinists, repeated his union's intent to leave the AFL-CIO if Stern's plans are adopted, to 'defend ourselves.'
Stern's plans call for a realignment of unions based on industry sectors. That angers industrial unions, which are increasingly pursuing workers in other industries to grow, such as health care. SEIU represents many health care workers.
Stern's ambitious plan was displayed in a color brochure sent to union presidents before Wednesday's meeting. Called 'Unite to Win,' Stern's union also created a Web site for union members to post comments and ideas.------------------------------------------- posted 8:12 AM :: reference link ::
