Abraham H. Raskin was born April 26, 1911 in Edmonton, Canada and raised in Seattle.
After a brief stay in Berlin, the Raskin family settled in New York. Raskin started
at the City College of New York in 1927 and studied education and government. During
his time at college, he became interested in journalism and edited the student newspaper,
yearbook and literary magazine. After graduation in 1931, Raskin remained for a time
and took some graduate courses, and also did part-time work at "The New York Times"
as a campus correspondent. In 1934, he became a full time employee at the "Times"
and reported on unemployment before becoming a labor correspondent. During World War
II, Raskin was chief of the Army Industrial Service Division, entering the service
as a captain and being discharged with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Returning to
"The New York Times," Raskin became the chief labor correspondent. He followed the
strikes, disputes, and negotiations, from the coal mines, to the steel mills, and
the auto factories. He was on a first name basis with union leaders and management.
In 1961, Raskin joined the editorial board and later became the assistant editor of
the editorial page. He spent more than four decades at "The New York Times" covering
labor, writing articles, and overseeing editorials, while becoming an authority on
labor and industrial relations. Raskin died in 1993 at the age of 82.
