8-16-15 George Meany Born in 2:00
http://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/e/august-16-george-meany-born/
August 16, 2015
On this day in Labor History the year was 1894. That was the birthday of the long-time leader of the AFL-CIO.
George Meany grew up in the Bronx, with his Irish Catholic family.
2:00 minute audio at link. George was not perfect. OS
The Rick Smith radio show has some fans trying to get his show on Sirius/XM.
I post his labor history in 2:00 on the DU every day with a great response.
Please help make this happen.
