Earlier this year four of the United States’ biggest unions — SEIU service employees, UFCW food and commercial workers, UNITE HERE textile, hospitality and retail workers and the Teamsters — split from the AFL-CIO, the country’s trade union federation. Together with other smaller unions, they have formed a new coalition called “Change to Win”, with a founding conference at the end of September.
LabourStart director Eric Lee attended the conference and produced a blog. You can find it here at www.ericlee.me.uk/archive
