Walter Reuther
Walter Philip Reuther is an American leader in the labor and civil rights movement who made the Automotive Workers Union one of the most progressive labor federations in American history. He does not see labor movements as particularly small interest groups but as tools for promoting social justice and human rights in democratic societies. He harnessed the resources and influence of the UAW to advocate for workers' rights, civil rights, women's rights, universal health care, public education, affordable housing, community management environment and nuclear proliferation in the world. He believed in Swedish social democracy and social change through non-violent civil disobedience. He survived two assassinations, including one at home, where he was shot by a size 12 pistol shot from his kitchen window. He was the UAW's fourth and longest serving president, serving from 1946 until his death in 1970 .
