John Edwin Morrish (23 September 1915 – 7 March 2003) was a British trade unionist and politician.
In March 1940, he asked a clerk to show him some confidential material which he was not entitled to see, believing that it contained information the membership should be aware of.
At the 1941 annual conference, his brother Harry made the case for his reinstatement, but it was voted down by a large majority.
[1][2] By 1948, Morrish was again a leading figure in the London POEU, and he was one of the organisers of a demonstration for wage increases, against the wishes of the union leadership.
He remained there until 1972, when he was appointed as the general secretary of the Customs and Excise Group, which he led into a merger with the Society of Civil and Public Servants.
