	U.S. labor leader laments unions' plans to split away - Americas - International Herald Tribune
		The schism is the biggest crisis to confront the labor federation since the Congress of Industrial Organizations, which was trying to organize hundreds of thousands of mass-production workers in auto, steel and other industries, split off 70 years ago from the American Federation of Labor, which largely represented craft workers.
		Leaders of the service employees' union, the food and commercial workers' union, the Teamsters and Unite Here, which represents apparel, hotel and restaurant employees, said Sunday that they were shunning the convention because, in their view, the federation, under Sweeney, had been ineffective in halting the long slide of organized labor.
		Earlier, Democratic lawmakers were careful not to take sides in the fight in their convention speeches, but urged labor leaders to stand together for workers at a critical time.

	How a Labor leader snapped - National - smh.com.au
		The Australian Workers' Union's national secretary, Bill Shorten, the author of a recent article prosecuting the view that Labor needed to break with the urban intelligentsia and their favoured themes of the environment, refugees and multiculturalism (an argument not a million miles from Latham's own views), was in the room.
		Deputy leader Jenny Macklin was scheduled to fill in for Latham until the new year, whereupon Chris Evans, the Western Australian left-winger who had succeeded John Faulkner to the leadership of Labor in the Senate, was due to take over.
		When he finally returned Fitzgibbon's call, the Labor leader horrified his friend by telling him he believed he was going to have to quit his job.
