Charles Edward Wilson (General Electric executive)
Charles Edward Wilson (November 18, 1886 in New York City – January 3, 1972 in Bronxville, New York) was a CEO of General Electric.
==Background==
Wilson left school at the age of 12 to work as a stock boy at the Sprague Electrical Works, which was acquired by the General Electric Company. He took night classes to graduate from high school, and he worked his way up to the position of president of the corporation in 1939. During World War II, Wilson served on the War Production Board as its executive vice-chairman in September 1942, supervising the huge American war production effort.〔Herman, Arthur. ''Freedom's Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War II,'' pp. 194, 199, 241, Random House, New York, NY, 2012. ISBN 978-1-4000-6964-4.〕 He resigned in August 1944 after a bitter dispute over jurisdiction with the Department of War and the Department of the Navy.
Wilson returned to General Electric in 1945 and began an antiunion campaign, and he also served President Harry S. Truman as the chairman of the blue-ribbon President's Committee on Civil Rights during 1946 - 47. This committee recommended new Civil Rights legislation to protect "all parts of our population".
