Labor's Inner War By Harold Meyerson, The Washington Post
LAS VEGAS - The era of bad feelings has descended on American labor.
The executive council meeting of the AFL-CIO that concluded here Thursday leaves the union movement divided into two angry camps, with three major unions considering leaving the federation. A coalition of unions led by the Service Employees International Union and the Teamsters - the federation's biggest and third-largest union - failed to persuade their colleagues to back a Teamster proposal to rebate a sizable chunk of the AFL-CIO's budget to member unions. The coalition won the support of unions representing roughly 40 percent of the AFL-CIO's 13 million members, but AFL-CIO President John Sweeney got majority backing for a program that directed more resources to the federation's political program than to organizing.------------------------------------------- posted 12:35 PM :: reference link ::
