Sir Lincoln Evans CBE (18 September 1889 – 3 August 1970) was a Welsh trade unionist.
This became part of the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation (ISTC) and, in 1936, Evans was elected as its Assistant General Secretary.
[1] In 1945, Evans was elected to the General Council of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), where he worked closely with Arthur Deakin, Will Lawther and Tom Williamson to form a right-wing group strongly opposed to Marxism.
This was highly controversial, as the role now involved assisting the Conservative government in privatising the Iron and Steel Corporation of Great Britain,[1] contrary to the policy of his former union.
Evans largely retired in 1960, but remained a part-time member of the Iron and Steel Board until his death in 1970.
