[] --> Just a bio on George Meany



George Meany was one of the guiding lights of the American labor movement in the middle of the 20th century. A plumber by trade, Meany rose through his own union to eventually head the American Federation of Labor and was instrumental in its reunification with the Congress of Industrial Organizations in 1955, after two decades of schism. Elected the first president of the AFL-CIO, he remained in that office until 1979.
