Usdaw's History: Over a Century of Service |
 |
Over one hundred years ago, representatives of workers met in Manchester and Birmingham to establish trade unions which grew during the latter part of the 19th century and throughout the 20th century, to form, in 1947, what is now the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers. In 1991, Usdaw celebrated a 'Century of Service' to those workers in shops, factories, offices, warehouses and other areas where the Union has representative and negotiating responsibilities.
We can take pride in the knowledge that our Union is undoubtedly a credit to the pioneers who have sacrificed so much in the past to contribute to our development.
Over one hundred years of active Usdaw history obviously cannot be fully recorded here. However, we have attempted to highlight some of the historical events, which will, convey the struggles and achievements of those who have contributed to this Union's history. For more detail on the history of our struggle for your rights read A Century of Service
