A midlife 'divorce' for labor? By Steve Early, Boston Globe
AS IT NEARS age 50, the AFL-CIO is having a 'midlife crisis.'
Despite declining membership and recent political setbacks, labor officials had planned to spend next year celebrating the golden anniversary of the 1955 merger between the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations. That event ended two decades of conflict between craft and industrial unions, during the era of labor's greatest growth and influence.
Now, the labor movement faces renewed divisions and the possible defection of its largest affiliate. Locally, the threatened departure of the Service Employees International Union could deprive the Massachusetts AFL-CIO of 80,000 members.------------------------------------------- posted 11:41 AM :: reference link ::
