Agnes McLean
A union activist from the start, after working procedures were changed to speed up production, she successfully argued for the bookbinders to receive a raise.At this time, she was active in the peace movement, and was arrested at a sit-in protest at the Holy Loch Polaris base.[2] Following local government reorganisation, she became a councillor on Strathclyde Regional Council, representing the Glasgow Central and Calton ward.[1] By the late 1970s, her mother was in poor health, and she left paid employment to look after her full-time, devoting much of her spare time to ballroom dancing.[2] She also sat on several management committees, including those of Blindcraft Scotland, Scottish Opera, and the Theatre Royal, Glasgow.
