AFL-CIO President John Sweeney is calling on labor leaders to develop proposals on how to restructure the labor movement. These solutions will be discussed when organized labor gathers in Chicago for a meeting this July. Andrew Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, has long been advocating dramatic changes in the labor movement. Stern, who has threatened to pull his union out of the AFL-CIO, wants to increase union bargaining power and numbers.
