George Addes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George F. Addes (1911 - 1990) was a founder of the United Automobile Workers union and its secretary-treasurer from 1936 until 1947.[1][2][3][4]

Addes and Richard Frankensteen led a major faction of the Union, supporting piecework and incentive pay in auto plants. The other faction, led by Walter Reuther, accused them both of being communists.[5]
