Paul Weber was an American labor leader. He was the founder and president of the Detroit (Michigan) chapter of the Association of Catholic Trade Unionists (ACTU) from 1939 to 1947,[1] best known for his development of an ACTU "Industrial Council Plan" (which Weber called "economic democracy"[2][3]) versus a CIO Industry Council Plan to foster union-management cooperation in US Labor disputes.[4][5]
Weber also belonged to the American Newspaper Guild (now NewsGuild-CWA),[6] a CIO federation member, which made him "well-versed in union practices."[7]
He also served as editor of Wage Earner, newspaper of the Michigan ACTU.[8]
In 1946, Weber wrote to some Catholic leaders around the nation in defense of Walter Reuther, who he wrote "Walter Reuther is certainly not a Communist... he is their bete noir" even if "Walter and his brothers Victor and Roy started out to be radicals."[9]
In 1947 during a conference of the Catholic Trl-State Congress in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Weber, "Detroit newspaperman and Association of Catholic Trade Unionists leader," joined other Catholics in opposing Communist influence on labor unions.[10]
