Okay, this is big. The AFL-CIO is falling apart. According to this article, the Service Employees International Union is planning to announce Monday they are pulling out of the AFL-CIO, and the Teamsters are planning to follow suit, as are two other unions. I can't say I'm sorry. The Teamsters never did anything to help my dad when his job was pulled out from under him after 40 years of service. And when I was in the IBEW, all they ever did was collect their dues. Maybe unions did a lot of good in the past, but it seems their time has come and gone. We'll see how this turns out.
