AFL-CIO Maintains Neutral Ground In Presidential Bend
Washington AFL-CIO leader George Meany keeps the federation neutral with a 27 to 3 vote against endorsing either McGovern or Nixon. Meany says the 117 unions and 13.6 million members are free to decide, while COPE fundraising and union support tilt toward McGovern among many locals. Wurf notes internal splits and a potential later challenge to Meany’s leadership.
