Carey Hargreaves

Carey Hargreaves (died 11 October 1954) was a British trade unionist.

Immediately after his election, the union was involved in a major dispute over fines and the sacking of its vice-president by his employer.

[1] Unlike most of the NWA's leadership, Hargreaves was not politically active, and he was sometimes accused of holding back information from his committee.

[1] Hargreaves was elected to the central committee of the Amalgamated Weavers' Association in 1930, and then as its president in 1947.

He retired in May 1949,[2] and devoted his remaining years to the Nelson Excelsior Glee Committee, where he indulged his love of music.
