Fraser to prepare UAW for leadership
Douglas Andrew Fraser, 60, elected UAW president, vows to pave way for a new generation of leadership. The Scot, a former Detroit metal finisher, becomes the union’s third postwar president, succeeding Leonard Woodcock as Walter Reuther era figures depart by 1983. Fraser’s rise follows a brief protest by Henry Wilson over minority representation.
