AFL-CIO to urge changes in ACA as Republicans vow repeal

Published Updated 5 Min Read

(Bloomberg) — The AFL-CIO will vote on a resolution that calls for changes to the Affordable Care Act, revealing divisions within the labor movement over whether the landmark health care law is good for union members.

The labor federation’s executive council approved the resolution Wednesday, sending it to the delegates for debate during the final sessions of the group’s quadrennial constitutional convention, says Terry O’Sullivan, general president of the Laborer’s International Union of North America. More than 1,600 delegates and guests of the nation’s largest labor federation are meeting this week in Los Angeles.
