Allen Gee

[1] He was a strong supporter of the Weavers' campaign for an eight-hour day, launched in 1886, and was involved in the Manningham Mills Strike.

[2] In 1888, he was elected as General Secretary of the West Yorkshire Power-Loom Weavers Association (later to become the Textile Workers), a position which he held until 1922.

In later life, Gee became a Justice of the Peace, and remained close to his fellow trade unionist Ben Turner.
