- Description:
- In this recording, George Meany continues his speech at a convention. In his speech he suggests the subsequent punishment of John Sims and several other members after the filing of charges was retaliatory, pointing to the exoneration of the accused officials as evidence in the matter. He details why he believes the division of the union was catalyzed by corruption and states his opinion about what will happen to the union if the International President remains in power. This recording is part two of two.
