Reform drive fuels UAW rift with AFL-CIO leadership
The drift between Walter Reuther and George Meany widens since the 1930s. Reuther accuses Meany of undemocratic leadership as UAW seeks reform and revitalization. A special convention was granted power to withdraw from AFL-CIO if reforms fail. Reuther plans private talks with other union chiefs as UAW eyes aerospace contracts and the 1948 elections. He asks for a December AFL-CIO convention and invites leaders from RWDSU and Textile Workers and the AFT to New York meetings.
