George Burdon (April 30, 1909[1] – June 17, 1972) was an American labor union leader.
Born in Los Angeles,[1] Burdon was an early member of the United Rubber Workers of America.
In 1937, he was the founding president of a local at the Goodyear factory in Long Beach, California.
[2] Although Burdon was easily re-elected in 1962 and 1964, in 1966, he faced a strong challenge from Peter Bommarito for the presidency.
Instead, he chose to stand down and found work with the United States Department of Labor's Manpower Administration.
