George Becker (labor leader)
George Becker (October 20, 1928 – February 3, 2007) was a steelworker, American labor leader and president of the United Steelworkers (USW) from 1993 to 2001. During his tenure as president of the Steelworkers, Becker also served as a vice president of the AFL-CIO.
==Early life==
Becker was born in 1928 in Madison, Illinois, to George and Frances Becker. He was raised in Granite City, Illinois, where the Becker family lived within 100 feet of the gates of the Granite City Steel Works mill.〔Franklin, "George Becker: 1928-2007," ''Chicago Tribune,'' February 6, 2007.〕〔Hevesi, "George Becker, Who Led Steelworkers Through Period of Growth, Dies at 78," ''New York Times,'' February 6, 2007.〕 The heat from the mill could be felt through the front door of the family home.〔"Former Steelworker President George Becker Dies," Press release, United Steelworkers, February 4, 2007.〕
Becker dropped out of high school during his freshman year in 1944 and got a job working an open hearth furnace in the Granite City mill. In 1946, he joined the United States Marine Corps, and served two years. He returned to the steel mill, but then was drafted into the United States Army in 1950 to serve in the Korean War. He remained in the Army until 1956, mustering out as a master sergeant.〔
Shortly after joining the Army, Becker married Jane Goforth in 1950. The couple had three sons.〔
