Labor Legend Jack Henning
Passes Away

Labor Leader Jack Henning passed away in his San Francisco home June 4, 2009.

Henning, a giant in the California union movement, and a friend of workers all around the world led the State Federation of Labor for many years. He went to work for unions straight out of college and had  several interesting government appointments such as head of the California Department of Industrial Relations under Governor Pat Brown, Assistant Secretary of Labor under President Kennedy and Ambassador to New Zealand under President Johnson.

Henning's achievements in Sacramento are made real to workers every day in the areas of workers comp, disability, plant closures notification, paid family leave and safety laws among many, many others.

Local 5 extends its sympathies to the Henning family and thanks them for allowing him to devote so much of his time to workers.
