Meany Wins Sixth Term as AFL-CIO Leader and New Slate Debuts
AFL-CIO delegates re-elected George Meany for two years amid a push for a younger leadership slate. Eight newcomers were nominated to the executive council while veteran leaders like Walter Reuther and David Bubinsky remained on the ticket. The convention also approved bold calls for more federal aid to education, civil rights measures, and expanded social security with Medicare expansion and lower retirement age. A Viet Nam peace message from Arthur Goldberg was read.
