In need of major updates
[edit]It looks like this article has been accumulating dust. The membership numbers hadn't been updated in 3 years, the article still listed Hansen of UFCW as president, and the article still lists Wal-Mart, Smithfield, and CVS as campaigns CtW is spearheading (these are all UFCW campaigns, and of course UFCW has since left CtW presumably taking these campaigns with it). Furthermore, in the "campaigns" area, none of these campaigns are cited. Especially given the recent strikes by west coast port truck drivers, the article would probably benefit from elaboration on these current organizing campaigns rather than having the article give so much weight to the internal politics and hearsay gossip of the labor movement. I also question if the "Possible Reunification with AFL-CIO" section is warranted or if it should be deleted; it's about a developing story from six years ago that clearly never panned out. The talks should be covered to some degree (possibly in a consolidated "History" section), but I don't think this outdated news piece deserves an entire section.

- Has anything changed — and if so what? — in the five years since the post above?

This article is not just dated, its data is completely wrong (number of members, unions affiliated, corruption and/or incompetence of leaders, disaffection, criticisms, etc.) It needs to be seriously updated or dumped.
Name Change [2]
[edit]
According to the organization, it has changed its name to the Strategic Organizing Center (SOC) from Change to Win.

Issues
[edit]This organization has seriously decreased in relevance due to poor management. Just look at the LM2s and check out the turnover. Very few have remained and appear to benefit disproportionately from the worker dues used to fund this org. 2600:1010:A002:21B0:65DF:197E:671F:82D3 (talk) 05:26, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
