Lynn Henderson

Lynn Henderson was a long time member of the Socialist Workers Party and a long time member of its National Committee. He served for a time on the Militant staff. He was expelled along with National Committee member Nat Weinstein in 1983 after forming the Henderson-Weinstein minority tendency based on their two documents: The Transitional Program and Method: the Road Forward and the Trade Union Minority Report. The Henderson-Weinstein tendency was a direct challenge to the new Barnes/Waters political line.

Henderson worked as a railroad brakeman/switchman for 25 years. He was vice-president of United Transportation Union Local 1000, one of the largest UTU locals in the country. He was editor of the Intercraft newspaper Straight Track.
