House of Labor:
The AFL-CIO and Change to Win have agreed to work together on voter mobilization. The Wall Street Journal’s Kris Maher reports that the groups had been feuding since AFL-CIO President John Sweeney “barred locals of the farm workers union from participating in state and local AFL-CIO groups after that union disaffiliated from the AFL-CIO.” Anna Burger, the head of Change to Win, then advised her unions to “stop paying dues to state and local AFL-CIO groups.”
The pact announced yesterday paves the way for Change to Win unions, including the farm workers, to participate in state and local AFL-CIO groups.
