Time's Up for the NUP - As unions buzz with talk of reform, a union-reform alliance folds its tent. By Harold Meyerson, American Prospect
The Prospect has learned, however, that on January 4 -- just as that discussion was reaching fever pitch -- the presidents of the NUP unions (SEIU’s Andy Stern, the Laborers’ Terence O’Sullivan, the Carpenters’ Doug McCarron, and UNITE-HERE co-presidents Bruce Raynor and John Wilhelm) met in Washington and decided to disband the alliance.
“I think it served its purpose,” Raynor told the Prospect. “It sparked this great debate in the labor movement, which is what we wanted. Now, we want it to be an inclusive discussion, not an exclusive one. The list of unions calling for reform has expanded. Hopefully, the AFL-CIO now becomes the vehicle to reform the labor movement.”------------------------------------------- posted 12:02 PM :: reference link ::
