Trade Unionist
Born in 1908, Origlass was a champion of working-class rights whose political activism spanned sixty years. Retiring in 1995, just one year before his death, Origlass was one of Australia's original Trotskyists and was, perhaps, best known for leading a bitter six-week strike on the Balmain docks in 1945 against the Stalinist leadership of the Ironworkers' Union.

Nicholas Origlass died in 1996.
