Debate over Virginia AFL-CIO Program of Progress sparks floor clash
At the Virginia AFL-CIO convention in Roanoke on Friday a lively floor debate focused on the Program of Progress, its future, and whether a new committee should study its effectiveness before the December 1969 expiration. George Apperson urged changes while praising but not endorsing the program, urging improvements ahead of the next gubernatorial election. Additional actions supported bringing back the United Auto Workers into the mainstream and urging participation from unions distant from Virginia’s labor movement, with Dr. Dana B. Hamel praising Virginia’s education push and urging bond support.
