WilliamGreen was the second long-term president of the American Federation of Labor, serving from 1924 until his death in 1952.
Green served as one of five labor delegates to the Paris Peace Conference at the end of World War I. Upon the death of Samuel Gompers in 1924, Green was the consensus choice for president of the AFL, a post he would hold for the next 28 turbulent years.
Green's backing was crucial to winning passage of the 1932 Norris-La Guardia Act, which severely limited the use of injunctions in labor disputes and abolished so-called "yellow dog contracts" that required workers to agree not to join a union as a condition of employment.
