National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers

National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers

The National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers (NUTGW) was a trade union in the United Kingdom.

The union was founded as the Tailors and Garment Workers' Union in 1920 with the merger of the Scottish Operative Tailors and Tailoresses' Association and the United Garment Workers' Union. In 1932, it was joined by the Amalgamated Society of Tailors and Tailoresses and renamed itself as the "National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers". It was subsequently joined by the United Ladies' Tailors' Trade Union and the Waterproof Garment Workers' Trade Union before, in 1991, merging into the General, Municipal, Boilermakers and Allied Trades Union.[1]
