C-SPAN Radio presents a special Labor Day weekend program of some of President Lyndon Johnson’s 1966 phone calls with Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz, AFL-CIO President George Meany and Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers.
Topics include a minimum wage bill, strikes against the railroads and airlines, and anti-war demonstrations at a U-A-W convention. You’ll also hear LBJ complain about what he considers the lack of organized labor support for LBJ’s Congressional agenda and for Democratic Congressional candidates.
