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.
