The AFL-CIO, the largest umbrella union in the U.S., is discussing measures to support the Occupy Wall Street protests, a union official said Wednesday. Larry Hanley, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), said in a telephone interview that talks are ongoing about the AFL-CIO becoming formally involved in the protest. Hanley, who serves on the executive committee of the AFL-CIO, said union members in New York City have voiced "huge support" for the Occupy Wall Street protests. "Working people's voices have been drowned out by huge money," he said. Hanley compared the Occupy Wall Street effort to the Arab Spring movement and said young people are worried about their future. The ATU has 20,000 members in New York and has formally pledged support for the protests.
