AFL-CIO vows continued cleanup amid union ousters
The AFL-CIO pledges ongoing cleanup after expelling laundry and bakery workers unions over rackets and corruption charges, following similar actions against the Teamsters. The convention trims overall membership from 15 million to about 12 million and criticizes the Senate McClellan committee for perceived bias in labor versus business corruption probes. A resolution calls for honesty in leadership while noting broader societal corruption and naming McGovern, Goldwater, Curtis, and Mundt as targets of criticism.
