Harold Hewitt OBE (12 April 1899[1] – 15 November 1968) was a British trade unionist and politician.
[2] In 1947, Hewitt was elected as the general secretary of the NSPW, relocating back to Stoke.
He also served as a Labour Party member of Stoke-on-Trent City Council, as a magistrate, on the Midland Regional Board for Industry and the board of the North Staffordshire University College.
Hewitt justified this, claiming that women in the industry did "not have the same responsibilities" as men.
[3] Hewitt was elected to the General Council of the Trades Union Congress in 1952, and that year was also made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.
