Kirkland, Lane

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Kirkland, (Joseph) Lane (1922–1999)

US labour leader. A merchant marine pilot during World War II, he joined the staff of the American Federation of Labor in 1948, and worked his way up the staff hierarchy. He was elected secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) in 1969, and president in 1980. He was regarded as one of the new breed of labour leaders: moderate, articulate, even cerebral, and more at home in the board room than on the shop floor. Kirkland was born in Camden, South Carolina.
