He joined the Boilermakers Society, and became a full-time official in 1954.[1] Long active in the Labour Party, he spent ten years on Clydebank Town Council.[2] Chalmers became Assistant General Secretary of the Boilermakers in 1961 and,[2] in 1967, he became General Secretary of the union, now known as the "Amalgamated Society of Boilermakers, Shipwrights, Blacksmiths and Structural Workers", while fellow Clydebanker Danny McGarvey became President. That year, he also joined the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party, and he was chairman of the party in 1976/77.[1] McGarvey died suddenly in 1977, and Chalmers took McGarvey's place on the General Council of the Trades Union Congress (TUC).[3] Chalmers also served on the Central Arbitration Committee from 1976. In 1978, he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. He stood down from his trade union posts in 1980, but served on the Press Council from 1978 until 1981.[1] References1. ^1 2 "CHALMERS, John", Who Was Who {{s-start}}{{s-npo|union}}{{succession box|title=General Secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Boilermakers, Shipwrights, Blacksmiths and Structural Workers|years=1967–1980|before=Danny McGarvey|after=Jim Murray}}{{succession box|title=Shipbuilding Group representative on the General Council of the TUC|years=1977–1980|before=Danny McGarvey|after=Jim Murray}}{{succession box|title=President of the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions|years=1979–1980|before=Hugh Scanlon|after=Ken Baker}}{{s-ppo}}{{succession box|title=Chair of the Labour Party|years=1976-1977|before=Tom Bradley|after=Joan Lestor}}{{end box}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Chalmers, John}}2. ^1 "Former shipyard leader dies at 68", Glasgow Herald, 29 August 1983, p.3 3. ^John Kerr, "Sir Daniel McGarvey - 'boots' to union boss", The Guardian, 27 April 1977, p. 3 8 : 1915 births|1983 deaths|Chairs of the Labour Party (UK)|Commanders of the Order of the British Empire|Scottish Labour Party councillors|General Secretaries of the Amalgamated Society of Boilermakers|Members of the General Council of the Trades Union Congress|People from Clydebank |
