Turning Point for Organized Labor / Labor needs a strong voice in politics - E. J. Dionne Jr., Washington Post Writers Group
The ironies keep adding up: Sweeney was president of the Service Employees International, the same union Stern has just led out of the labor federation along with the Teamsters. Stern's cachet now, like Sweeney's then, is based in large part on the SEIU's success: It invested more than most unions in organizing, and it grew fast. Ten years ago, Sweeney was the new guard replacing the old. Today, Stern is the insurrectionist against Sweeney's establishment.------------------------------------------- posted 5:15 AM :: reference link ::
