Cartoon of George Meany receiving a Valentine's Day card from Walter Reuther that says, "You're old fashioned and crotchety, you're not up to snuff, you're just an old meany and I've had enough." From the Philadelphia Daily News.
Across newspaper editorial cartoons of the 1950-60s, Valentine's Dayπ was the perfect contrast to Walter Reuther & George Meany's contentious working relationship in the @aflcio.org.
