In an August 29 letter to AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, ILWU President Robert McEllrath cited quite a list of grievances as reasons for the disillusion of their affiliation, but prominent among them was the AFL-CIO's support of Obamare.
"We feel the Federation has done a great disservice to the labor movement and all working people by going along to get along," McEllrath wrote in the letter to Trumka.

It's too late the damage has been done to this Country.
More unions need to step up. But you all voted for this fool so deal with it.
Looks like Trumka is getting a gonadectomy!
lol...the death of unions increases in speed like an avalanche.
idiot union members; it's about time you woke up. now let's believe the rest will awake from their loooooonnnnngggggg slumber.
Being Union does not mean you have to vote Democrat. Unions represent people who still have the right to vote for whomever we want..... think before you speak idiots learn more about today's unions instead of reading about unions from a history book!!!
How ironic that they have finally awakened to the fact that "their" candidate is ruining this country...this is a step in the right direction, but may be too late...
750-It doesn't mean you have to vote Democrat, but look at the campaign donations which are raised through union dues, and where they go.
If Unions are so very good for society at large, why are Wisconsin union rolls down 30-50% since folks weren't forced to join simply due to their profession?
Look at how the Unions helped Detroit! How many Detroit residents voted non-democrat?
look you fool where do you think all your dues to go to? YES it goes to the democrats. So it is your own falt
