Doltan and I discussed the Judis piece a few days ago. If the carpenters choose to break away from the AFL-CIO, that is their right. Doesn't dilute organized labor's clout ... just redistributes the power. There still are 16.5 people in this country that carry a union card, and, as the article points out, systematic factors will cause the number to rise and fall. Lest we forget, both the Repubs and Dems a year ago lobbied hard for union endorsements.
