		CHICAGO (AP) AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, the center of a storm in the labor movement, was re-elected to a fourth term Wednesday — just days after the defection of two major unions that sought his ouster.
		The dissident unions said Sweeney, 71, was elected on a platform of growth and change but has done too little to reverse the decades-long decline in union membership.
		Several labor leaders said the dissident groups had wanted Sweeney to announce that he was stepping down at the convention — or be re-elected with the intention of only serving a few months — and to endorse one of their preselected candidates to succeed him.
