Albert Bousser

Albert Bousser (8 February 1906 – 2 May 1995[citation needed]) was a Luxembourgish politician, railway inspector, and trade unionist.[1]

Born on 8 February 1906 in Alzingen, Bousser studied in Paris at the École du génie civil, after which he became a railway inspector for Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois, in which capacity he worked until 1969.[citation needed] He worked for the railway workers' union, first as Secretary (1945–1954) and later as President (1954–1964).[citation needed]

Bousser first entered the Chamber of Deputies in 1946, as he would remain until 1964, when he became a government minister, as Minister for Transport and Minister for Public Works (1964–1969).[citation needed] He briefly sat on the communal council of Luxembourg City (1950–1951), before moving to Howald, in Hesperange and serving as Mayor of Hesperange.[citation needed] During this time, he was President of the LSAP from 1952 to 1954.[citation needed]

He was instrumental, in 1971, to forming the Social Democratic Party.[citation needed] He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies again in the 1974 election, in which he sat until 1979.[citation needed]
