Broadside, printed on one side of a single leaf, approx. 8-1/2 X 11 in. Full page letter to American union members reporting on the manipulation of AFL and other American unions supporting the general strike in British Guiana [sic]. Not well remembered today, the 80-day walkout was the longest general strike on the world. This letter calls out George Meany and other union leaders for falling in line with this action, which was being pushed by right-wing anti-communist organizations aiming for political change and not representing the interests of workers. The operation was part of a covert US effort, secretly funded by the CIA who used the American unions as tools, to oust the popular Guianese leader Cheddi Jagan, who was friendly with Cuba's Fidel Castro. Tiny shallow chip to one edge; fine.
