The United Food and Commercial Workers just became the third union to quit the AFL-CIO. The 1.3 million member union said it was committing itself to the new Change to Win Coalition, following in the footsteps of the Teamsters and the Service Employees International Union.
In addition to the UFCW, Teamsters and SEIU, the new labor coalition includes three AFL-CIO member unions (the United Farm Workers, Laborers' International and Unite Here) and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.
