Joe Marino (born 1946, Wythenshawe, Manchester)[1][2] is a British trade unionist.
Marino joined the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers' Union (BFAWU) in his youth, and was elected as a shop steward in 1968.
BFAWU members undertook a national strike in 1978; this ended in defeat, but Marino's profile increased to the extent that he was elected as the union's general secretary the following year.
At this time, he was a member of Militant, a Trotskyist group in the Labour Party.
[4] Marino left the Labour Party in the 1990s, and joined the Socialist Labour Party, for which he stood unsuccessfully in London at the European Parliament election, 1999, championing a Eurosceptic position.
