AFL-CIO PRESIDENT GEORGE MEANY WAS CIA

The AFL-CIO receives funding from the CIA. It is no wonder that they do such a poor job representing workers. They are the secret police. They even played a role in the failed coup attempt to overthrow President Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. So, this skulduggery is still taking place. What this country needs is a Labor Party. Only then will workers be properly represented.

Latin American Cloak & Daggers: The AFL-CIO and the CIA

By CHARLES WALKER

On April 25, The New York Times ran an article disclosing that the AFL-CIO's international arm, the American Center for International Solidarity, had received $154,377 from a U.S. congressional conduit "to assist the main Venezuelan labor union in advancing labor rights."

That union, the Confederation of Venezuelan Workers (CTV), was a principal player in the events that led to the short-lived military coup that removed the Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez, from office.
