Charles Douglas Grieve (27 April 1927 – December 1996) was a Scottish trade unionist.
[1] He joined the Tobacco Workers' Union (TWU), and was appointed to the joint post of national organiser and financial secretary.
[2] In 1973, Grieve was elected to the General Council of the Trades Union Congress (TUC),[3] on which he was part of a left-wing group, including Rodney Bickerstaffe, Ken Cameron, Bill Keys, Alan Sapper and Jim Slater.
[5] With the decline in tobacco-related employment in the UK, Grieve negotiated the merger of the TWU into the Technical, Administrative and Supervisory Section; once this was completed, in 1986, he retired.
[3] In his spare time, Grieve organised a trade union brass band festival in County Durham, and he devoted much of his retirement to the event.
