In early 1940 Dubinsky initiated talks with Green about the ILGWU returning to the AFL. Green wanted the organization back because of the group's largesse and because bringing the ILGWU back within the AFL would be a victory in the war with the CIO. The AFL voted to let the ILGWU back into the group, and the motion passed 640 to 12. By 1945 Dubinsky regained his vice presidency and his position of the executive council. Over the next twenty years Dubinsky remained an active leader, retiring from the presidency of the ILGWU in 1966. In that span he participated in politics and labor concerns and served on various public and private boards and agencies. For the rest of his long, illustrious life Dubinsky sustained his commitment to improving the lives of America's working class.
