Maurice Hutcheson

Maurice Albert Hutcheson (May 7, 1897 – January 9, 1983) was a carpenter and an American labor leader.

He was born in Saginaw County, Michigan, to William Hutcheson and his wife Bessie Mae (King).

The younger Hutcheson apprenticed as a carpenter in 1914 and served in the United States Navy in World War I.

In 1954, he signed a jurisdictional agreement with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, ending a 40-year dispute.

Although he was critical of Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa for permitting his union to be dominated by organized crime, Hutcheson voted against the resolution ejecting the union sponsored by AFL-CIO president George Meany in 1957.

Law enforcement officials said Hutcheson and the others had made an $81,000 profit by buying the land on which a highway was to be built and then selling it to the state.
