Teamsters Depart Chicago to Continue Efforts to Strengthen Labor Movement - PRNewswire
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced today that the Union and its delegates will not attend the AFL-CIO convention, along with three other Change To Win Coalition unions, SEIU, UFCW, and UNITE HERE.
'Workers in this country need a fighting labor movement,' said Jim Hoffa, Teamsters General President. 'The AFL-CIO leadership has decided that they will use procedural tactics to keep our reform proposals from being heard. I refuse to waste our delegates' time for an exercise in futility. Our delegates will now return to their local unions to continue building a new labor movement.'------------------------------------------- posted 5:16 PM :: reference link ::
