Alan Jinkinson

Alan Raymond Jinkinson (born 27 February 1935[1] in Sheffield, Yorkshire) is a British trade unionist. He was the General Secretary of UNISON from 1993 to 1996, and previously the General Secretary of NALGO (National and Local Government Officers' Association) from 1990.[2]

Jinkinson stood for the Labour Party in the Orpington by-election, 1962. A supporter of Hugh Gaitskell, he attacked Eric Lubbock, the Liberal Party candidate for supporting unilateral nuclear disarmament. However, Lubbock won the seat, while Jinkinson took third place with 12.4% of the vote, losing his deposit.[3]
