Georges Séguy
Acting - Born Mar 16, 1927 in Toulouse, France - Died Aug 13, 2016
Georges Séguy (16 March 1927 – 13 August 2016) was a French trade union leader. Born in Toulouse, Séguy's father was a communist and trade unionist, and Pierre Semard was a family friend. In 1940, Séguy joined the illegal Communist Youth. After Semard was executed in 1942, Séguy became more involved in the resistance, keeping watch while the movement was sabotaging the railways. He found work at Henri Lion's printing works, which served the resistance, and he soon became its main contact with the underground French Communist Party (PCF), General Confederation of Labour (CGT) and National Front.
