UFCW Goes - 3rd Major Union to Depart AFL-CIO

See the letter from UFCW President Joe Hansen. The money quote (or from the AFL-CIO's perspective, the loss of money quote):

The UFCW, in order to pursue the most effective course of action for its members and all workers in its core industries, is terminating its affiliation with the AFL-CIO effective immediately.

Probably not the last shoe to drop either.
