Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
This union was formed in 1887 as the effective successor of the Amalgamated Malleable Ironworkers of Great Britain, although the latter was not formally dissolved until 1891. In 1896 it was the largest and most representative union in the industry, covering both wrought iron and steel workers in the Midlands, the north of England and Cumberland. In 1913 it joined and provided the secretary for the Iron and Steel Trades Federation and in 1917 it became part of the British Iron, Steel and Kindred Trades Association (BISAKTA), the 'central association' of the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation (ISTC).
