[Washington (AP) - Unite Here, a union of 450,000 workers in the apparel and hospitality industry, is leaving the AFL-CIO to join a group of dissident unions that want the organized labor movement to spend more time and money recruiting new members.] It is time for the labor movement to make some changes, ... After two years of internal debate, we have concluded it is the best course for the labor movement for us to join hands with six sister organizations and strike off in a direction of focusing more on organizing.

[Hayes said that the embassy agreed that the union could come onto the premises and hold meetings and membership drives, but that it stopped short of granting the union exclusivity.] There would be no exclusive collective or one-closed-shop bargaining, we told them, ... They could have membership drives on site, but we did not agree to automatically deduct membership dues from all our staff, even those who did not wish to be members.

We are not against unionization. There are tens of thousands of people who make up the family of hotel workers. Some are union members and some are not, and that's fine with us. But the decision whether or not to join a union is an important one. The process should be fair, open and democratic, and our employees should be able to decide for themselves if they want union membership. It is their job. It is their life. It should be their choice.

There's no sense competing for existing union members - we have to ask the question, why has union membership dropped to seven million from 11 million in this country.

This settlement creates the organizing space we need to continue the already positive membership growth we have in the Starbucks union.

They are trying to do an end-run around the union and go directly to the membership, ... They believe that what they're doing is acceptable to the membership, but not to the leadership.

In organizing itself I see a tremendous increase in the reinventing of the labor movement as the heir of the civil rights movement. I think it's the recasting of the labor movement in a way that I haven't seen in many years.

For our union to succeed on behalf of our members, we must be part of a revitalized and dynamic labor movement that connects with a new generation of workers struggling in the 21st century's global economy,

I'm so proud of our members. The overwhelming unity and solidarity of the machinist union membership won this strike.

I think it's possible this whole debate started with the Change To Win unions when they left and caused the AFL-CIO to discuss what to do. But it's not just about numbers. It was about coming up with a new strategy. You have some people saying it's silly to leave any union out and you need to build the labor movement one city at a time.

In terms of the larger union movement, especially folks beyond the New York metro area, there is sort of this patina or the hero effect of now being a labor martyr, a contemporary sort of Mike Quill.

My case to labor is that I respect them and I respect their role in getting a higher standard of living for people in this country. I was a labor leader myself, and my wife is a labor union member.
