A Huge Story I Have Absolutely Nothing To Say About

Two of America's Three Biggest Unions Will Split From AFL-CIO Over Political Differences

Megan says "Wow," over on her forum The Pit.

A press report from the separatist unions, calling themselves "Change to Win," stated "We hope to underscore the continuing problems with AFL-CIO President John Sweeney's management, while continuing to pretend we have any intention of ever actually supporting a Republican candidate for office."

MikeSC's taking the same skeptical position as you, Ace. But seriously, even if all this does is force the Dems to pander harder at the state and municipal level, this is a win-win-win situation for the GOP. We have absolutely zero to lose and everything to gain.

Jesus Christ. One little link from Ace and suddenly the board's got 20 guests.

And I just laugh and laugh...

The Dems must be going nutz.

I wonder just how much more they need to push them all completely over the edge. :)

This is a fight about where and how to spend dues, some good news (the Teamsters want to spend less on politics) and some bad news (they want to spend more on organizing).

The United Food and Commercial Workers (part of the Teamsters) is fighting for its life. They've been after Wal*Mart for years, mostly so they can get some kind of a labor agreement with any grocery chain successfully negotiated. They never have. Other chains (like the ones that broke their strike in So Cal last year) look across the table and say "do something about Wal-Mart if you want us to sign a deal".

Heh. The ones I've seen are so far over the edge already they can't even SEE the edge anymore.

And it just breaks my freakin' heart into pieces.
