He was a member of the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF) for many years, and in 1956 became the union's full-time Irish Officer.[3][4] In 1958, Griffiths progressed to become ASLEF's organising secretary, and then the following year was chosen as its assistant general secretary. In 1964, he was elected as the general secretary of ASLEF, and with his increased prominence was also elected to the General Council of the Trades Union Congress, also serving on the National Board for Prices and Incomes.[3][4] Under Griffith's leadership, the union led a go slow on the railways in 1967.[3] References1. ^1939 England and Wales Register {{start box}}{{s-npo|union}}{{succession box|title=General Secretary of the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen|years=1964–1970|before=William Evans|after=Ray Buckton}}{{succession box|title=Railways representative on the General Council of the Trades Union Congress|years=1963–1969|with=Sidney Greene2. ^England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007 3. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=Mr A.
