An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Emil Girbig (11 June 1866 – 6 February 1933) was a German trade unionist and politician. Born in Elisabethhütte near Jamlitz, he completed an apprenticeship as a glassmaker. He joined the Central Union of Glass Workers, and in 1897 was elected as a president. The position was poorly paid, so he began running an inn in his spare time. However, the union grew under his leadership, and from 1900, it was able to employ him on a full-time wage. He was a founder of the International Federation of Glassworkers in 1908, and became its first general secretary, serving until 1920, when he became its president.
