- Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners
The Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners (ASCJ) was a New Model Trade Union in the 1860s in the United Kingdom, representing carpenters and joiners.
The formation of the Society was spurred by the Stonemason's strike, 1859, which succeeded in winning a nine-hour day. In 1860, a number of small societies formed the Amalgamated.[ [http://www.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/ead/259CJ.htm Papers of The Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners] ] Robert Applegarth was the general secretary from 1862 to 1871. [May, Trevor "An Economic and Social History of Great Britain 1760-1990" 2nd edition, 1996] ]The union also established branches in the United States and in Australia.

By 1892, the union had 37,588 members, and by 1900 it had 65,000. In 1911, it merged with the Associated Carpenters and Joiners of Scotland, while in 1918 the Amalgamated Union of Cabinetmakers joined the union, which renamed itself as the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters, Cabinetmakers and Joiners. In 1921, the union merged with the General Union of Carpenters and Joiners, forming the Amalgamated Society of Woodworkers
