This article looks awfully unbalanced toward Workers United. I don't think anyone intends for it to be. However, I have only found the information which I've added and cited, and so far have not been able to find information in published, unbiased, reputable publications (newspapers, etc.) which can provide a different view on these issues, or add information which is not related to the UNITE HERE dispute (e.g., it would be nice if Workers United had won an organizing drive, elected officers, lobbied, etc., and that could be reported). I strongly encourage others to help expand this article in any way possible. - Tim1965 (talk) 00:26, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Workers United is a branch of UNITE HERE which disaffiliated this fall and joined SEIU. There are lots of unions which affiliate and disaffiliate from various national trade union centers, or other unions. In this case, a user has added "Category:UNITE HERE" as a new category. My thought is that since Workers United is no longer part of UNITE HERE, that category should not apply. But since Workers United came out of UNITE HERE, perhaps it should. My argument is that many trade and labor unions have long histories; if we added the category of each affiliation and kept the old disaffiliations as well, it would lead to intense confusion among readers. Thus, only the most up-to-date affiliations should be reflected in the categories. What do others think? (I am posting this to the WikiProject Organized Labour Talk page as well.) - Tim1965 (talk) 12:57, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
