Claim: William Broadhead was elected General Secretary of the Saw Grinders Union (an organization of workers who have come together to achieve many common goals) in 1948, which grew in strength under his leadership, raising vast amounts of money for its members while undermining the work of non-union members.
Evidence: He used his income from this business to support saw grinders who found themselves in difficulties, and as a result, was elected General Secretary of the Saw Grinders Union in 1848.
