<< Labor's Support for Civil Rights | Main | Zogby- Public Against Bush Reelection >> September 05, 2003A New CIO?Unlikely, but a crew of the top organizing union leaders in the AFL-CIO are setting up a staffed committee to coordinate their organizing separate from the AFL-CIO itself. Most interesting, the group includes both the progressive SEIU and HERE unions along with the outcast Carpenters union-- and the Teamsters may join as well. An odd brew of union held together by an impatience that unions need to focus in on organizing as their almost sole focus.

I'm squeamish about anyone joiningforces with McCarron; in my opinion, the man defines the worst attributes of "union boss" and I say that as an organizer. I don't understand why he left the federation and from what I understand about the trades, I don't quite get who exactly he'll be organizing. I like SEIU and HERE's organizing strategies, and the Teamsters still rack up some impressive wins. I'm concerned with real union democracy though, and anything allied with McCarron strikes me a little funny. But then, I'm no expert, I'm just some guy.
