Douglas A. Fraser (1992) Born the son of an electrician in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1916, Douglas Fraser came to Detroit with his family at the age of six. Starting out at the Chrysler DeSoto plant, he soon joined the fledgling UAW and was elected president of his local in 1944. Beginning with his election as an executive board member in 1962, he was instrumental in negotiating many path-breaking, historic agreements in the industry. Highly respected for his integrity, strong leadership, and adept negotiating skills, Fraser was elected vice president in 1970 and President of the UAW in 1977. In 1979, he accepted a seat on the Chrysler Board of Directors as a means of influencing key business decisions affecting the lives of UAW members. Fraser retired from the UAW in 1983 to devote his energies to the classroom, first as a lecturer at Harvard, MIT, and the University of Michigan and as a professor at Wayne State University.
