Bernard Sullivan

Bernard Sullivan (1886 – 1957) was a British trade unionist and politician, who served on London County Council.

Born in Leeds, Sullivan worked as a garment cutter and dress designer.

In 1920, when the National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers was formed, he was appointed as its full-time London District Secretary.

[1] Initially, Sullivan was seen as one of the more radical figures in the union, a member of the Friends of Soviet Russia,[3] and a supporter of striking workers at Rego in 1928.

Unlike the London District Organiser Sam Elsbury, he did not join the United Clothing Workers' Union split.
