Just a note: we should add something in here about the relationship between the unions and the Democratic Party and politics generally. DanKeshet 19:21, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

Ummm also, Tuesday Sept. 27, CTW had their founding coalition. They elected the Anna Burger (of SEIU) their Chair/President and Edgar Romney (of UNITE) as Secretary-Tresurer. I think it's notable that Burger is the first woman to head a coalition of this sort, and Romney the first African-American... rather than being led only by white men, this coalition truly represents the American labor force.

[edit] Name Change

At the founding convention, the orgainzation officially became the Change to Win Federation. I think that probably merits a name change for this article with a redirection from "Change to Win Coaltion." meyerlondon

-Good call. We'll also have to go through the affiliate pages to change to name there, and fix the double-redirect. Fcendejas 23:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
