Highlights
& Quotes
Donahue, a
longtime union organizer, has been closely associated with the anti-communist,
right-wing of U.S. organized labor. In 1995, after then-AFL-CIO
President Lane Kirkland was pushed out by other union leaders after
16 years at the helm, he chose Donahue as his successor. Eager for
a change at the top, union members elected John Sweeney instead.
(7)
Donahue is
married to Rachelle Horowitz, a leader of the conservative faction
of the Socialist Party that splintered off in the early 1970s, eventually
becoming Social Democrats USA. (8)
