    Disunity at Big Labor - by Robert Kuttner, Boston Globe
    Beyond personalities, labor is divided into divergent subcultures -- service unions like SEIU; public-employee unions that live and die by electing political allies to office; and industrial unions hemorrhaging members because of the decline of integrated industries. A decade ago, the UAW had 460,000 workers at General Motors. With GM's latest downsizing, they will have just 75,000.
