The AFL-CIO turns 65

<p>As the nation’s labor federation celebrates a significant anniversary, we hear the voices of AFL president George Meany and CIO president Walter Reuther at the 1955 founding convention of the AFL-CIO, and labor historian Joe McCartin looks at the federation’s past, present and future. And, on this week’s Labor History in 2:00, The Union is DISSOLVED! Produced and edited by Chris Garlock.
