Labor at odds / AFL-CIO knows reform is needed, but it'll be tough By George Raine, San Francisco Chronicle
Stern noted that transportation union members are divided into 15 different unions. The same is true in construction. There are 13 unions with significant numbers of public employees and nine major unions in manufacturing. Health care members are divided into more than 30 unions.
In 13 major sectors of the economy, there are at least four significant unions, and in nine of those sectors there are at least six unions.
Meanwhile, only 15 of the 65 AFL-CIO national unions have more than 250,000 members, and 40 have fewer than 100,000. Many of these unions 'do not have the strength to unite more workers in their industry and change workers' lives,'' the proposal says.------------------------------------------- posted 1:26 PM :: reference link ::
