OBITUARY Prominent trade unionist, Greenham Common activist and writer for The Herald
Ann Coltart, who has died aged 82, was prominent trade unionist and activist and a woman who left an unforgettable mark on everyone who crossed her path. Having joined the National Union of Journalists in the early 1960s, she earned a reputation as a fearsome champion of equality – a dedication that lasted till her dying day — drafting NUJ motions and rallying delegates to the Scottish TUC women’s conference in the last week of her life.
