AFL-CIO Proposes to Leadership to Unite Local Labor Movements Through New Solidarity Charters - AFL-CIO press release
AFL-CIO President John Sweeney announced a new proposal to help unite the grassroots power of the union movement through innovative Solidarity Charters for locals of recently disaffiliated unions. He is asking members of the AFL-CIO Executive Council to approve this plan.
"It's not these locals' fault that their national unions left the AFL-CIO, and it's not working people's fault. They shouldn't have to bear the brunt of a decision by their leadership," said Sweeney. "Solidarity Charters will allow unions to work together and let working people still benefit from a united grassroots movement that works for good jobs, health care, and a voice in issues that matter to them."
Local unions who are part of the Teamsters, UFCW, SEIU and Carpenters are all eligible for Solidarity Charters.------------------------------------------- posted 5:13 AM :: reference link ::
