Sol Stetin

Sol Stetin (April 2, 1910 – May 21, 2005) was a Polish-born American labor union leader.

Born in Pabianice, now in Poland, when Stetin was 10, he and his family emigrated to Paterson, New Jersey.

He left school in the ninth grade, becoming an amateur boxer, and a semi-professional basketball player, despite being only 5 feet 4 inches tall.

[1][2] In 1930, Stetin began working as a dyer, soon joining a union, and taking part in the major textile strike of 1934.

His last involvement in a labor dispute came when he attended a rally at the age of 95, a month before his death.
