Laborers to Leave AFL-CIO |
The Laborers (LIUNA) will disaffiliate from the AFL-CIO effective June 1, the union’s president, Terence O’Sullivan, said in a letter to the AFL-CIO.
LIUNA’s governing board voted in February to leave the federation, giving O’Sullivan the choice of when to go. Last July, O’Sullivan stepped down from the AFL-CIO Executive Council, reiterating that his union intended to leave the federation.
O’Sullivan’s May 22 letter says the union will disaffiliate “in order to pursue full participation in Change to Win,” the organization formed last year by unions disaffiliating from the AFL-CIO.
