Prominent labor leaders, frustrated that Democrats in Washington
aren't aggressively pursuing the union agenda, are threatening to limit
their campaign support for Democrats, an act that would hamper the
party's bid to regain control of the House next year and keep a majority
in the Senate.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka's threat of a
pullback Friday was the latest warning to a party that has long relied
on labor's cash and grass-roots support. If it makes good on its threat,
labor probably would spend more time and money combating union-busting
efforts by state officials.
'We will change the way we spend, the way we do things and the way we function that creates power for workers,' Trumka said.
