  • Hugh Parr Scanlon, Baron Scanlon (* 26. Oktober 1913 in Melbourne; † 27. Januar 2004 in Broadstairs, Kent) war ein britischer Gewerkschaftsfunktionär und Life Peer. Mit der leitete er von 1968 bis 1978 eine der größten Gewerkschaften des Vereinigten Königreichs und galt als einflussreiche Figur des linken politischen Spektrums. Konfrontationen mit den Regierungen von Harold Wilson und Edward Heath über geplante Einschränkungen von Gewerkschaftsrechten in einer ersten Phase stand dabei ab 1974 seine Zusammenarbeit mit den Labour-Regierungen von Wilson und James Callaghan im Zeichen eines Sozialvertrags gegenüber. Dass der ehemalige Kommunist und bekennende Marxist 1978 die Peerswürde akzeptierte, galt als überraschend und entfremdete ihn von früheren Weggefährten. (de)
