AFL-CIO Prepares Massive Voter Registration Drive
The AFL-CIO plans a grass roots effort to register millions of union members to vote for labor allies in next year’s elections. The 167 member board criticized voter registration barriers and literacy tests, naming registrars in unions to counter purge efforts while targeting nonvoters in labor wards. About $750,000 will fund the drive as leaders seek to expand political influence amid civil rights tensions.
