BiographyEarly lifeHe was born in Oystermouth, Glamorganshire, Wales in 1864. His family migrated to New Zealand when he was eight years old and grew up in the Auckland suburb of Newton. Upon completing his education, Rosser became a builder by trade. Whilst working as a carpenter he married Sarah Louisa Craig on 30 November 1886.[1] Trade union careerAfter he was blacklisted by conservative building contractors due to his links with the Liberal Party, Rosser took up a new career as a union organiser, the first in Auckland.[1] Within twelve years he was involved in the formation of nine new trade unions and was himself the secretary of many of them, demonstrating a skill for arbitration. Over time arbitration was overtaken by collective bargaining as most new unionists favored method. As a result, Rosser's more moderate views were at increasing odds with the more militant forces in the labour movement. This came to a head in 1910, when he was replaced as the president of the Auckland Trades and Labour Council by the more radical Michael Joseph Savage.[1] Political careerThrough his role as a union secretary Rosser openly participated in politics. In the early 1900s he played a key role in establishing the Independent Political Labour League in Auckland, the first New Zealand Labour Party and the United Labour Party. Throughout his career, Rosser was an advocate of the moderate wing of the labour movement, arguing that organised labour should improve rather than replace capitalism.[1] In the {{NZ election link|1896}}, he stood in the three-member {{NZ electorate link|City of Auckland}} electorate and came fourth.[2] At the next election in {{NZ election link year|1899}}, he came seventh.[3] He was one of three candidates in the {{NZ election link|1908}} in the {{NZ electorate link|Auckland Central}} electorate and stood for the Independent Political Labour League when he came last.[4] Rosser was elected to the Auckland City Council in 1901 but lost his seat in 1903 and later failed to secure re-election in 1907, 1913 and 1931. He regained a seat in 1933, though in 1938 he lost his seat on the council, after standing as an independent. He was unexpectedly denied re-nomination by the Labour Party alongside sitting councillors Ted Phelan and George Gordon Grant.[5] The next year he was expelled from a Labour Party as he had stood against Labour's official municipal candidates.[1] Later life and deathRosser died at Auckland on 15 February 1954. He was survived by three daughters.[1] References{{Commons}}1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{DNZB|last=Husbands|first=Paul|id=3r30|title=Rosser, Arthur|accessdate=23 April 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Rosser, Arthur}}{{NewZealand-bio-stub}}2. ^{{cite news |title=The General Election |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=AS18961223.2.28.8 |accessdate=8 January 2014 |newspaper=Auckland Star |date=23 December 1896 |volume=XXVII |issue=305 |page=6}} 3. ^{{cite news |url= http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&cl=search&d=AJHR1900-I.2.3.2.54 |title=The General Election, 1899 |date=19 June 1900 |publisher= Appendix to the Journals of the House of Representatives |page=1 |accessdate=1 November 2012 |location=Wellington}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=The General Election, 1908 |url= http://atojs.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/atojs?a=d&d=AJHR1909-II.2.5.2.12 |publisher=National Library |accessdate=14 April 2012 |page=3 | year=1909}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/NZH19380129.2.151 |title=Civic Elections - Labour Candidates |date=29 January 1938 |publisher=The New Zealand Herald |volume=LXXV |issue=22949 |page=15 }} 14 : 1864 births|1954 deaths|Welsh emigrants to New Zealand|New Zealand trade unionists|Auckland City Councillors|Unsuccessful candidates in the 1896 New Zealand general election|Unsuccessful candidates in the 1899 New Zealand general election|Unsuccessful candidates in the 1908 New Zealand general election|Independent Political Labour League politicians|New Zealand Liberal Party politicians|New Zealand Labour Party politicians|19th-century New Zealand politicians|20th-century New Zealand politicians|New Zealand justices of the peace |
