Bill George, the charismatic President of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO announced he is retiring while appearing on The Rick Smith Show last weekend. He has led the union organization for some years and is a fantastic speaker and leader for workers across the Commonwealth and the country. This is a loss for Pennsylvania though Bill certainly has earned the opportunity to do the things he wishes in life as he contemplates the next phase of his life. The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO without Bill George is something that's difficult to imagine, Bill George has been the face and voice of workers here for so long and so strongly I can't imagine him not being there at rallies, events and on c - 44 min.
