The Economist - Disorganised labour

The Economist - Disorganised labour:
"America’s trade-union movement has suffered its biggest split in 50 years, with a big group of unions breaking away from the AFL-CIO. The breakaway group wants more money spent on recruiting members rather than lobbying politicians. It may be bad news for the Democrats but the disunity in the ranks of organised labour will not necessarily be good for big business."
