"The Service Employees International Union, with 1.8 million members, plans to announce Monday that it is leaving the AFL-CIO...
The Teamsters union was likely to disaffiliate at the same news conference, they said. Two other boycotting unions signaled similar intentions: United Food and Commercial Workers and UNITE HERE, a group of textile and hotel workers."

Tomorrow's union break-up announcements are the start of the Great Split between public and private unions.

In brief, carpenters in the SEIU and Teamster dockworkers have no common ground with the anarchists who burn down houses or with the greens who want to stop all new home construction as being "urban sprawl."

That is entirely true, but, unfortunately the unions do, especially SEIU.
That is where the real trouble is, and has been, brewing for those unions. - a disconnect between the members and the union "agenda."

Love it, love it, love it! Thanks for the ping! It's more than past time for the hard-working union members to realize that the Democrat-controlled public union leaders do NOT represent their interests. I expect a jump in the stock market today at the news, don't you?
