Stefan Nędzyński (1919 – 10 January 2008) was a Polish trade union official and economist.
Born in Poznań, Nędzyński was arrested by Soviet troops at the start of World War II, and spent three years in a labour camp. He was released in 1941, and served in the Polish Army, fighting in the Middle East and in Italy.[1]
In 1964, Nędzyński returned to the PTTI, as its general secretary.[2] When Becu retired from the ICFTU in 1967, Nędzyński was a leading candidate to replace him, but George Woodcock vetoed his candidacy, on the grounds that Nędzyński had already quit two jobs with the ICFTU.[1]
Nędzyński remained with the PTTI until his retirement, in 1989. He then began representing Solidarity overseas.[1]
