[lbo-talk] SEIU gets ready to bolt AFL-CIO

[Joseph Wanzala]

If this has been in the cards for some time, then isn't it because of the 
direction that the AFL-CIO has been going - and might it have occured even 
if Kerry had 'consumated his victory'? In other words if it is not fallout 
from the election it certainly is fallout from the posture of the AFL-CIO 
leading up to the election - which sort of amounts to the same thing...no?
