The Labor world is all abuzz on a group of unions seeking to separate from the AFL-CIO.

The unions have created the 'Change to Win Coalition', and said they will present an aggressive agenda at the AFL-CIO convention meeting, scheduled for July 25-28 in Chicago.

At least three of the five unions said they have authorized their executive committees to withdraw from the 13 mln strong AFL-CIO, with some leaders stating that this will indeed be a likely result. Forbes
