Despite a New York Times report last week that says as many as five Democratic senators are behind a move to strip the Employee Free Choice Act of its majority sign-up provision, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney says he’s not worried about Democratic wavering. Sweeny’s comments were recorded during an interview with the Real News Network in June . They were posted recently on the AFL-CIO blog.

: “The President is committed to supporting the Employee Free Choice Act. The Vice-President is just as committed and has been working directly with members of Congress on this legislation. And the leadership of both houses of the Congress are firmly committed. We're not concerned about so-called wavering that's going on."

5. He figures American unions are terminal anyway.

He can expect a year or two of living off the workers' dues, then the Republicans will make unions illegal, and he can fly off to his new life in Rio de Janiero.
