Labor Group Tries to Address Dissent By PETE YOST, Associated Press
AFL-CIO President John Sweeney is seeking re-election in July and a new report by the labor federation says too few unions are investing 30 percent or more of their overall budgets on organizing.
Dissidents including Hoffa, who runs one of the nation's largest unions, want to cut the AFL-CIO's budget, proposing reductions in dues paid to the federation for unions that commit more resources to organizing. The initiative will be voted on at the AFL-CIO's national convention in July.------------------------------------------- posted 12:11 PM :: reference link ::
