He spent time in the United States Marine Corps, including serving in the Korean War, then attended the University of Notre Dame. In 1958, he began working full-time for the IUOE, and completed the Harvard Trade Union Program. He served as the assistant to successive presidents of the international union, and then in 1975 won election as a vice-president.

As leader of the union, Hanley computerized its head office, extended its organizing efforts, and expended training programs to cover emerging trades. He retired in 2005.
