Moses Sclare

Moses Sclare (29 July 1867 – 8 September 1949) was a Ukrainian trade union leader, active in the United Kingdom.

While there, he met a group of engineers from Scotland who were working on a Russian government contract, and they persuaded him to emigrate to Glasgow.

A further strike in 1911 led to arbitration which improved the pay and conditions of the union's members, and membership had reached 4,500 by 1915.

[1] Sclare was a member of Poale Zion, and his motions in support of political and civil rights for Jewish people were passed by the Trades Union Congress in 1915 and 1916.

[2] Sclare became the financial secretary of the UTGWU, and remained a leading figure after it merged into the National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers.
