The AFL-CIO's Disintegration and Its Possible Implications - by Tim Kane, Ph.D., Heritage.org The AFL-CIO disintegrated on Monday July 25, 2005—somewhat ironically, the 50th anniversary of its integration. Four member unions representing roughly one-quarter of AFL-CIO membership announced their departure from the federation. They are led by Teamsters president James Hoffa and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) head Andrew Stern, both of whom disagree with the strategies of AFL-CIO President John Sweeney. Many observers see this is the beginning of the end, but it may instead be an essential phase for the rebirth of American labor.
