AFL-CIO and Change to Win working together on election 08
Steven Greenhouse–who by the way has written an excellent book–writes in the NY Times that the two labor federations are working together for the upcoming election in 2008. Actually I don’t think this is the first time they’ve done this. I think they might have done this for the 2006 mid-term elections as well.
Mr. Cohen said there had been initial discussions about what might be done to bring back some of the breakaway unions, but he said the overwhelming focus for the next 15 weeks would be on the political campaign. After Election Day, he and several other union presidents said, talks might pick up on patching up differences between some Change to Win unions and the A.F.L.-C.I.O.
The question is after the election is over, could we realistically see CTW folding back into the AFL-CIO?
