Lloyd McBride (March 16, 1916 - November 6, 1983) was an American labor leader and president of the United Steelworkers of America from 1977 to 1983. ==Early life and union work== McBride was born in Farmington, Missouri, in 1916. His father was a painter at a St. Louis steel fabricating mill. When he was 14 years old, he quit school to support his family at a 25-cents-an-hour job in the same plant. In 1936, he became a member of Steel Workers Organizing Committee Local 1295. The local struck in 1937. McBride organized a sitdown strike which was broken by police after only seven days. The broader strike continued for seven more weeks, and the workers were successful in winning a contract on their terms. McBride was elected president of his local by acclamation afterward. McBride married Delores Neihaus in 1937. They had a son and a daughter. McBride was elected president of the St. Louis Industrial Union Council in 1940, and president of the CIO Council for Missouri in 1942. McBride served in the United States Navy from 1943 to 1945. After World War II, McBride returned to Missouri and his union position. In 1958, the Steelworkers hired him to be director of the USW Sub-District based in Granite City, Illinois. In 1965, he was elected director of District 34. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lloyd McBride」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
