Government-Employee Union Declares Aims
Posted By admin
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees announced plans yesterday to spend $60 million more a year to campaign for universal health coverage, to unionize 70,000 workers annually and to register 280,000 union members to vote. The union, the largest of the 53 unions in the A.F.L.-C.I.O., announced what it called a 21st Century Initiative, pledging to become one of the most aggressive unions in organizing and in politics.
