Alex Rose
Alex Rose was an American trade unionist and political activist.
In the mid-1930s, Rose served as secretary of the Trade Union Red Cross for Spain, formed by the ILGWU.[1]
As a milliner's union official in the late 1930s, Rose was a key figure in the American Labor Party (ALP).[2] As the party's executive secretary, he sought to support the new deal while remaining separate from the Democrats.[3]
In 1942, he broke with the Democrats to support Dean Alfange for Governor of New York.[4]
Along with David Dubinsky, Rose led the Liberal Party of New York in the late 1940s.[5]
Dubinsky and Rose supported John F. Kennedy in the 1960 presidential election, although Dubinsky had to persuade Rose to overcome his initial doubts about Lyndon Johnson.[6]
Rose died in 1976.[7]
