After Quitting A.F.L.-C.I.O., Group Suggests Reunion of Sorts - By STEVEN GREENHOUSE, New York Times
The coalition of unions that broke away from the A.F.L.-C.I.O. has asked that federation to join it in creating a third union federation that would concentrate on political and legislative efforts.
But the federation's president, John J. Sweeney, dismissed the idea, mocking the "obvious irony of a proposal to essentially recreate the A.F.L.-C.I.O. as it existed prior to" the decision by the service employees and three other unions to break away last year.------------------------------------------- posted 7:35 AM :: reference link ::
