Teamsters and SEIU are leaving the AFL/CIO
« on: July 25, 2005, 09:51:22 pm »
This is pretty big news: http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/story/0,3604,1536096,00.html
I've long thought that the unions of today are like dinosaurs roaming around. 

This quote has me pretty infuriated:
"AFL-CIO president John Sweeney hit out at the rebels. "At a time when our corporate and conservative adversaries have created the most powerful anti-worker machine in the history of our country, a divided movement hurts the hopes of working families for a better life," he said."

All I can say is "Move to France, you bum"!

But then, that would not be very nice, now would it.
