He promoted close ties between the union and the Labour Party, which have not persisted with its successor National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers.

Appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1966 New Year's Honours, he was Knighted in 1970. On 21 January 1975 he was created a life peer as Baron Greene of Harrow Weald, of Harrow in the County of Greater London.

Early in his career, after leaving school at age 14, Greene was a porter at Paddington station.
