Labor Activist Victor Reuther Dies at 92 AP, New York Newsday
Victor, Walter and Roy Reuther left West Virginia to come to Detroit in the 1930s to lead a changing American labor movement. Walter became UAW president, heading the organization from 1946 to 1970, while Roy served as the union's legislative director.
Victor Reuther joined Kelsey Hayes Wheel Co. in 1936 as an assembly- line worker and became a strike leader with his UAW local. He went on to lead the UAW's education department and was appointed director of the union's international affairs department in 1955.
He retired from the UAW in 1972. He titled his memoirs 'The Brothers Reuther.'
John L. Sweeney, president of the AFL-CIO, said Reuther helped build the UAW 'into a powerful force for social good.'------------------------------------------- posted 8:17 AM :: reference link ::
