AFL-CIO Chief Meany tests Democratic presidential waters in Miami
AFL-CIO President George Meany hosts a policy conference in Miami Beach that signals labor’s openness to Democratic candidates while keeping Nixon's re election in play. He indicated slim odds of backing Nixon and declined to welcome the Nixon administration, citing disapproval of foreign and economic policy including Nixon’s trip to Red China. Meany signaled labor will not endorse a candidate until the nominating convention narrows the field, aiming to avoid being taken for granted. The federation backs Labor priorities and civil rights, with past alignment to Humphrey noted.
