Com. Satyendra More (1929–2003) was R.B. More’s son. Even as a child he took part in cultural activities of the Communist Party and, as a student, he was active in the AISF and the Bombay Students’ Union. Later, he was active as a trade-union organiser and in 1968 led a successful strike demanding implementation of the recommendations of the Third Pay Commission for government employees. He later became a full-time trade-union worker. He also organised Adivasis and peasants from Raigad district in the Konkan region during the Emergency. He was elected to the Maharashtra Assembly from Dharavi in Bombay in 1978 and, as MLA, worked for the slum dwellers of the area.
