[lbo-talk] Donations to Key Cuomo Ally Show a Rift Among Unions

[Wojtek S]

Backed with millions of dollars in contributions from business, the
Committee to Save New York has been Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s most
important ally in his battles with public-sector unions over
government spending, pensions and teacher accountability.
But the committee turns out to have another source of money: a group
of building trade unions who contributed $500,000 last year. Their
decision to back Mr. Cuomo — and help finance an offensive against
their public-sector brethren — illuminates a deepening fissure in the
labor movement.
