The union was affiliated to the Cardroom Workers' Amalamgation (CWA), and in about 1894, he was elected to its executive committee. The CWA was, in turn, affiliated to the United Textile Factory Workers' Association, and Gee was elected as its president in 1919, winning re-election each year thereafter.[1][2]
Gee was also elected to Hyde Town Council and served for six years around the turn of the century. In his spare time, he served as a magistrate.[1]
Gee became seriously ill early in 1924 and died in June.[1]
