Despite widespread interest in the trade union movement and its
history, it has never been easy to trace the development of
individual unions, especially those now defunct, or where name
changes or mergers have confused the trail. In this respect the
standard histories and industrial studies tend to stimulate
curiosity rather than satisfy it. When was a union founded? When
did it merge or dissolve itself, or simply disappear? What records
survive and where can further details of its history be found?
These are the kinds of question the Directory sets out to answer.
Each entry is arranged according to a standard plan, as follows: 1.
Name of union; 2. Foundation date: Name changes (if any) and
relevant dates. Any amalgamation or transfer of engagements.
Cessation, winding up or disappearance, with date and reasons where
appropriate and available; 3. Characteristics of: membership,
leadership, policy, outstanding events, membership (numbers). 4.
Sources of information: books, articles, minutes etc; location of
documentation.
