A labor leadership split pits George McGovern against Meany and the AFL CIO as top unions threaten to withhold support in the Nixon McGovern race. Abel of United Steelworkers doubts McGovern’s chances while United Auto Workers signals possible backing. Teamsters lean toward Nixon. Leaders fault McGovern’s policies and labor’s impact on the fall election remains uncertain.
