Frey, John (Philip)

    0.12 sec.

Frey, John (Philip) (1871-1957)

US labour leader, and long-time vice-president of the International Molders and Foundry Workers Union (1900-1950). As a young man he apprenticed as an iron moulder in Massachusetts, joining the IMFWU in 1893. He served as aide to the labour leader Samuel Gompers. A conservative unionist, he defended craft union ‘purity’ and held unskilled workers in disdain. He vigorously opposed any union between the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organization, which did occur after his death. He was born in Mankato, Minnesota.
