Fawcett Association

The Fawcett Association was a trade union representing postal clerks in London.

It was named after Henry Fawcett, who it considered had been sympathetic to workers when he was Postmaster General.

[1] For most of its existence, the union's general secretary was Wallace Bligh Cheesman, and its chairman was William E. Clery.

They were sacked from the Post Office after they circulated information about candidates in the 1892 general election, and attempted to get them to express support for the union.

In 1919, it merged with the Postmen's Federation and the Postal and Telegraph Clerks' Association, forming the Union of Post Office Workers.
