WASHINGTON The leaders of the unions that broke away from the AFL-CIO say they have a new game plan.

The labor groups plan to target workers in growing industries such as health care and waste management. Leaders say they'll try to reverse a decline in the ranks of organized labor.

Teamsters President James Hoffa has told The Associated Press that leaders "want to identify jobs that can't be shipped overseas."

Meanwhile, the head of the Service Employees International Union says the targeted industries employ a large number of immigrants and minorities. Andrew Stern says these workers often don't have college degrees and aren't paid fairly.

Stern says the affected industries also include food service and businesses that cater to retirees.

The two unions broke away from the AFL-CIO in July, saying the federation was spending too much time on politics and not enough on recruiting.
