Some Famous People called Andrew Cameron
Andrew Cameron (labor leader)
Andrew Cameron (1834–1892) was an American trade unionist and newspaper editor who founded the National Labor Union alongside William H. Sylvis. He represented the National Labor Union as a delegate to the Basle Congress (1869) of the International Workingmen's Association (IWA).
Cameron worked as a printer at the Chicago Times in 1860. When the paper's publisher, William F. Storey, dismissed his employees to hire cheaper labor, Cameron led a strike, which led to the striking workers forming their own labor newspaper, the Workingman's Advocate. Cameron became editor of this paper.
Cameron was a supporter of free labor republicanism and opposed socialism. Despite this relatively conservative view, he was a supporter of industrial unionism.
