Jack Scott (May 12, 1910 – December 30, 2000) was an Irish-born union activist and member of the Communist Party of Canada. He authored numerous books on Canadian labour history and founded the Canada-China Friendship Association. He fought for Canada in World War II and was awarded the Croix de Guerre for gallantry under fire.[1][2] Scott opposed allowing Canadian trade unions to be controlled by U.S.-based unions.[3] He was expelled from the Communist Party because of his support of China during the Sino-Soviet split. Jack Scott became a founder of the Vancouver-based Progressive Workers Movement.[4]
