William Henry Wood
William Henry Wood was a British trade union leader.
Wood was a compositor, and became the Secretary of the Manchester Typographical Society. In 1864, he was elected as the first Secretary of the Manchester and Salford Trades Council.〔(The History of the TUC 1868-1968: Part One 1868-1899 )〕
A keen trade unionist, Wood played a prominent role in two national union conferences: in Sheffield in 1866, and in London in 1867.〔A. E. Musson, ''(The Congress of 1868: The Origins and Establishment of the Trades Union Congress )''〕 With Samuel Caldwell Nicholson, he was inspired to create the Trades Union Congress (TUC), in frustration at the indifference of the Congress of the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science to trade union activities.〔
As Nicholson did not attend the first meeting of the TUC, Wood was elected as its first Secretary. He held the post for only one year, after which he was replaced by George Potter.
