AFL-CIO to lay off quarter of its staff
Washington, DC, Mar. 10 (UPI) -- The AFL-CIO, the major U.S. labor organization, is downsizing its operations, with up to a quarter of its staff expected to lose their jobs.
Robert Welsh, chief of staff for President John J. Sweeney, told employees at the AFL-CIO, which represents 58 unions and employs 421 persons, that as many as 80 to 100 would be let go, the Washington Times reported.
It goes on to say that they're increasing political funds while decreasing organizing funds.
So instead of trying to get people to join the union and help their members, they're going to become a mostly political organization?
I'm sure this will help their agenda as their numbers shrink.
