AFL-CIO and Change to Win Unions Call for United Labor Front
Union presidents from a dozen major unions, plus leaders from the AFL-CIO and Change to Win, met Wednesday to discuss ways to create a united labor movement to effectively take on the challenges facing working Americans. Talks could lead to the reuniting of AFL-CIO and Change to Win unions, which split in 2005.
"The goal of the meeting is to create a unified labor movement that can speak and act nationally on the critical issues facing working Americans," the labor leaders said in a joint statement. "While we represent the largest labor unions, we recognize that unity requires broad participation."
