Neutrality

I believe the Campaigns section does not present an objective point of view, both in the references to positive accomplishments by AFSCME and the dispute between AFSCME and SEIU described at the end of the article. In this former case (AFSCME achievements), there are no sources cited, and the section reads like an advertisement. Citations should be provided to support the claims. On the other hand, the reference to Illinois workers who "soundly rejected" AFSCME sounds unobjective. A citation is provided, but a change in the language might help avoid the impression that a member of SEIU, a rival union to AFSCME, is posting negative comments.Deseavers 08:06, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I've cleaned it up a little and tried to keep it neutral, in addition to mentioning the "follow the work" policy.--Orange Mike 16:11, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

NPOV Dispute [Campaigns]

Entire article still resembles an advertisement for the organization instead of a third-party, neutral article about AFSCME. Most of this is just a copy-paste-edit from their site, although some of it has been tweaked over time. There is a ton of assumed political truths references in this Wikipedia entry. Believing something is true and actually being proven as truth is two separate things. Pointing out all of the political slants in this article would take up too much space in the talk page.

Second- or third-largest?

Well which is it? The link is broken, and the numbers listed are form 2008, so probably no longer accurate. Tad Lincoln (talk) 01:35, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
