Milt Neidenberg (1922/23 – February 4, 2018) was a Statesian communist and founding member of the Workers World Party who organized against capitalism for more than 60 years. He worked as a steelworker in Buffalo and later organized unions in New York City.[1]
Early life[edit | edit source]
Neidenberg was born in a Jewish family in Brooklyn in the 1920s. He joined the Navy during the Second World War and was stationed in Nicaragua.[2]
Political activism[edit | edit source]
Neidenberg joined the Buffalo branch of the SWP during the 1950s along with Sam Marcy. They left the SWP in 1958 because of its opposition to the Soviet Union and founded the Workers World Party in 1959.[2]
Labor organization[edit | edit source]
Neidenberg organized a picket against a car dealership in Buffalo that refused to hire Black workers. Neidenberg worked in the Center for United Labor Action, which the WWP founded in 1971. He supported a strike at the AP Parts Plant in 1984 and successfully prevented collaboration between the UAW and GM leadership. He organized with the Boston School Bus Drivers Union for more than 40 years.[1]
