AFL-CIO Election This Week
The AFL-CIO faces its first contested election since the 1955 merger as John Sweeney and John Donahue vie for leadership. Donahue trails with about 55 percent support from large unions like the Teamsters while Sweeney earns backing from others including AFSCME. The 13.3 million member federation seeks a more active, inclusive labor movement with expanded organizing and political independence.
