Walter Reuther was a big shot in unions. He led the UAW (United Auto Workers) and the CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations). During his time as President of the CIO, he negotiated its merger with the AFL (American Federation of Laborers). He worked for Ford as a tool and die maker until his leaving the company. From 1933 to 1935, he and his brothers worked in Russia. Reuther was a socialist, but never became a communist, despite his time in Russia. He sometimes cooperated with communists, when their goals aligned. He was not fond of Stalin. Reuther was also a member of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society (a predecessor to the League for Industrial Democracy), heading its chapter at Wayne State University. | Walter Reuther was a big shot in unions.
