The AFL-CIO Split.
On the same vein:
I was just reading the AFL-CIO's opnion of anti-union Wal-Mart. As you can guess, the unions hate Wal-Mart.
They have what they hate about Wal_mart all broken down and organized.

Here's their frst argument:
So... is this Wal-Mart's fault? The government already sets a minimum wage.
Oh, yeah, now people want a "living wage."
Personally, I guess I'll trade higher taxes for "public social services" than be forced to pay higher prices for goods at a mom-n-pop store.

Here's their frst argument:
Wal-Mart's low prices don't come cheap. In fact, each Wal-Mart store employing 200 people costs taxpayers approximately $420,750 annually in public social services used by Wal-Mart workers whose low wages and unaffordable health insurance mean most of them are among the working poor.

And I almost mentioned the economic theory of that guy played by Russel Crowe in that one movie which claimed... something about getting better results by working together.Minor point: Smith believe that people did act in their own best interests not needed to.[/b].
But thanks for the clarification...been almost a decade since my last econ class.

The dissidents want to see less money spent on politics and more on organizing and recruiting. On an individual level, a lot of union members are conservatives, many Christian conservatives, and they are sick of paying dues to an organization that has been a rubber stamp of the left and the Democratic Party.
