<br/><br/> "A divided labor movement gave preliminary backing this week [March 2005] to a plan by AFL-CIO President John Sweeney that boosts the federation's emphasis on political involvement. The decision beat back a challenge by six dissident unions that would have cut the AFL-CIO's per capita membership dues in half and used that money for organizing new members." (GANNETT NEWS SERVICE) The article discusses declining union membership and focuses on the controversial plan to increase political involvement rather than cut membership fees.
