General Electric Discharges Communist Employees

December 9th, 1953 71 years ago

General Electric announced a policy to discharge all employees identified as Communist. This declaration was part of a broader Red Scare phenomenon in the United States that intensified in the early 1950s.

The decision affected numerous employees and sparked debates over civil liberties and corporate loyalty.
