But until about five years ago the union did no organizing in Boston--a city with a rather conspicuous concentration of hospitals. It wasn't until...
...years the I.L.O.'s Communist and Arab member nations have used the organization, and particularly its annual meeting, as a forum for attacks against U.S. policy toward the Middle East and elsewhere. That has dismayed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO, both of which send delegates to I.L.O. meetings.-Says AFL-CIO Boss George Meany: "I have had to sit in plenary sessions with the I.L.O. where they compliment the Director General on his wonderful report. Then they would launch an attack on the United States of America...
