Similar Stories to Laborers' International Union Expected To Rejoin Afl-cio on Bing News

Laborers spokesman David Miller declined to confirm the decision, but said leaders of the 800,000-member union representing construction workers would have more to say after a meeting on Sunday. Trumka told the AFL-CIO's executive council last week that the move would become final in October. The Laborers and five other unions bolted from the federation in 2005 in a bitter dispute that damaged the AFL-CIO's political heft and sapped millions in dues from its budget. Led by Service Employees International Union president Andy Stern, the breakaway unions formed the rival Change to Win federation amid complaints that the AFL-CIO wasn't doing enough to organize new workers and halt the steady decline in union membership and influence. Trumka has made a major push for unity since he was named AFL-CIO president last September, rekindling closer relationships with SEIU, the Teamsters, the United Food & Commercial Workers and the United Farm Workers – the four remaining Change to Win members. The Laborers are the second union to come back to the AFL-CIO.
