Cliff Comer

Clifford Frank Comer (22 April 1896[1] – 22 September 1978) was a British trade unionist.

Born in Weston-super-Mare, Comer began working as a mental health nurse at Wells Hospital. He joined the Mental Hospital and Institutional Workers' Union (MHIWU), and was a branch secretary by the mid-1920s.[2]

In 1932, Comer began working full-time for the union as its first national organiser, based in Manchester. He was transferred to London as Southern Organiser in 1938, replacing Stanley Morgan.[3][2] The MHIWU became part of the Confederation of Health Service Employees (COHSE) in 1946, and Comer was appointed as its first assistant general secretary and Southern National Organiser.[3][4] In 1948, he was elected as general secretary of the union, serving until 1953.[3] He resigned, claiming it was for "purely personal" reasons, although Mick Carpenter claims that he was frustrated by conflicts within the union and its failure to grow as expected.[4]

Comer was a supporter of the Labour Party, which he represented as a member of Somerset County Council.[3]
