Fred Woods (trade unionist)

Frederick Cecil Woods (20 March 1891[1] - 16 April 1961) was a British trade union leader.

Woods worked for the Post Office and first joined a trade union in 1908.

This became part of the Union of Post Office Workers, and Woods slowly rose to prominence, serving on its executive committee from 1933, and as its full-time London district secretary from 1936.

[3] Woods was also active in the Labour Party, representing Child's Hill on Hendon Urban District Council from 1926 to 1929.

[4][5][2] Woods retired from his trade union posts in 1956, and died five years later, aged 70.
