John Adair Freeman (24 November 1933 – 15 March 2011) was a trade unionist from Northern Ireland.
His father Samuel fought in the 2nd World war with the Scottish Cameronian rifles and was shot and captured in Belgium.
He returned to Belfast in 1962, and found himself unable to work at Short and Harland because he was not a member of the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers' Union (ATGWU).
He instead found employment in a warehouse, but joined the ATGWU and soon moved to work at Short and Harland as a labourer.
[1] Freeman opposed internment of suspected Irish republicans in 1971, and faced intimidation from the Loyalist Association of Workers.
