Josef Larsson (12 October 1893 - 27 December 1987) was a Norwegian metal worker and trade unionist, born in Sweden. From 1931 he was a secretary for the Norwegian Union of Iron and Metalworkers. He was a board member of the Norwegian Labour Party from 1927 to 1930.[1]
In 1941, after the so-called milk strike in Oslo, Larsson was sentenced to death in a German court-martial, but his conviction was changed to imprisonment for life.[2][3]
He spent the rest of the war years in German jails.[4] After the war he took up again the position as chairman of the Norwegian Union of Iron and Metalworkers, a post he held until 1958. Larsson died in 1987 at 94 years of age.
