John A. Goldie (1878-1958).

John A. Goldie graduated from the Minneapolis College of Law in 1926 and soon thereafter began practicing labor law. After he died on March 2, 1958, Samuel I. Sigal, his associate for over two decades, recalled his impact on the development of labor law in a tribute to him at the annual memorial proceedings of the Hennepin County Bar Association:

"He represented labor unions almost from the first day that he commenced to practice law. He represented trade unions at a time when it was quite unpopular to do so.

"A great deal of the decision-made law in our state relating to labor relations and labor law is a product of Mr. Goldie's forceful and forthright espousal of the cause of organized labor and working people."
