Hoffa's demand: Fix AFL-CIO by Richard A. Ryan, Detroit News
Teamsters President James P. Hoffa called Wednesday for dramatic changes in the operations of the AFL-CIO to reverse a long decline in union membership and restore labor's once feared political clout.
The Teamsters want member unions of the AFL-CIO to escalate organizing efforts and concentrate political action on key political battleground states that decided this year's presidential election.
The future of the labor movement may depend on how the federation and John Sweeney, its 70-year-old president, respond to the growing pressure for change.
