:: Thursday, May 22, 2003 ::
Are Secret Activities Being Conducted by AFL-CIO? Unbeknownst to most trade unionists, former AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland, as head of the International Affairs Department, ran a global empire that consisted of about 100 full-time professionals in international relations, operating in some 80 countries through four regional institutes, which he tightly controlled for more than two decades until he was forced to retire in 1995.
Heavily financed by U.S. government agencies and private organizations, AFL-CIO operatives collaborated with the Central Intelligence Agency to undermine foreign governments and unions that were considered hostile to American business interests or were thought to be pro-Communist, even to the point of setting up and financing dual unions in those countries.
