The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union broke away from the  AFL-CIO  , making it the third union to split from the AFL-CIO this week over disagreements about how to revive labor's diminishing influence. AFL-CIO spokeswoman Lane Windham responded, saying "The UFCW leadership decision to leave the AFL-CIO, especially when working people are up against the most powerful, anti-worker corporate and governmental forces in 80 years, is a tragedy for working families. Only union' s enemies win when unions split our strength."
