Kirkland, (Joseph) Lane
Kirkland, (Joseph) Lane (b. Camden, S.C., 12 March 1922) He joined the AFL staff in 1948, became George Meaney’s chief assistant, and succeeded him as head of the AFL-CIO on 19 November 1979. His major accomplishments were to engineer readmission of the United Auto Workers in 1981 and the Teamsters Union in 1987. He has long been frustrated by a conservative drift in the Democratic party, and his opposition failed to stop the creation of NAFTA.
