Allan Gee
Allan Gee (1853–1939) was a British trade unionist and politician. ==Professional background== Gee worked in the woollen industry in Huddersfield, and was involved in a major, but unsuccessful, strike in 1883. This experience inspired him to found what became the General Union of Textile Workers, with membership from the wider district. In 1885, he was elected as the first president of the Huddersfield Trades Council.〔"(Big anniversary for Huddersfield Trades Union Council )", ''Huddersfield Daily Examiner'', 23 September 2010〕 He was a strong supporter of the Weavers' campaign for an eight-hour day, launched in 1886, and was involved in the Manningham Mills Strike.〔J. F. C. Harrison, ''Learning and living, 1790-1960'', p.253〕 In 1888, he was elected as General Secretary of the West Yorkshire Power-Loom Weavers Association (later to become the Textile Workers), a position which he held until 1922.〔Hugh Armstrong Clegg, ''A History of British Trade Unions Since 1889: 1889-1910'', p.184〕〔Ben Pimlott and Chris Cook, ''Trade unions in British politics: the first 250 years'', p.32〕
