While I do not question that this person existed, I can't find sufficient evidence of notability per wp standards. Others are welcome to try. Tagged for notability -- and for lack of any refs -- for well over two years. Epeefleche (talk) 06:49, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Union leader of a large union which lead a major strike might just be notable enough, but like you, I am struggling to find credible stuff that backs that up. The current UNITE union page relates a union formed in 1995, so clearly not the same union at all.  Struggling to find support for him from reliable 3rd party sources. --Legis (talk - contribs) 07:25, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I think that the book Portuguese Spinner: an American story : stories of history, culture, and life from Portuguese Americans in southeastern New England (p. 242) covers the story from 1955. However, it is the only mention of the subject in the independent sources I found. I'm not sure. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 08:47, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete He sounds like a thoroughly decent chap, but I can't see this as viable. Even if everything mentioned in the article were meticulously sourced, I don't see how it would be notable. Would be happy to be proved wrong.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 00:03, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
