| AdminHistory | NALGO was formed in 1905 and mostly represented local government 'white collar' workers. At first NALGO did not see itself as a trade union, but changed by the close of the First World War and in 1920 it became a trade union. http://www.readingmuseum.org.uk/news/justin.asp
By 1946 [NALGO] was the eighth largest trade union with nearly 140,000 members. That same year, the union changed its constitution to enable it to recruit employees in other public services such as the NHS and the electricity and gas boards. Six years later, in 1952, it was renamed the National and Local Government Officers Association (though it would continue to refer to itself as NALGO).

NALGO was one of several public sector unions that merged in 1993 to form UNISON, Britain's largest union. http://www.readingmuseum.org.uk/news/justin.asp |
