    Rifts threaten breakaway union coalition - By Joe Mathews, Los Angeles Times
    In splitting with the AFL-CIO, which represents 10 million workers, Change to Win unions pledged to build a new labor movement that would focus less on presidential politics and more on aggressively increasing labor power through organizing.

    The split is so new that assessing its effect is difficult. But the internal documents suggest that the new coalition is fragile.

    In a three-page letter sent last month to his fellow Change to Win leaders, Joseph Hansen, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers, wrote that the unions need to 'resolve issues that I see as a threat to the existence of Change to Win.'
