The British Association of Colliery Management (BACM) was a trade union in the United Kingdom. The union was founded in the early 1940s as the Yorkshire Association of Colliery Officials and Staff, representing managerial, supervisory and non-industrial staff in the coal industry. It later became the British Association of Colliery Officials and Staff. In 1947, following the nationalisation of the coal industry, it became the British Association of Colliery Management. The union affiliated to the Trades Union Congress in 1977. However, its membership gradually declined as a result of the closure of much of the British coal mining industry, so it began to recruit members in other industrial sectors. To reflect this, in 1998 the official name of the union became the British Association of Colliery Management – Technical, Energy and Administrative Management (BACM-TEAM). The union merged with the Prospect trade union in 2014.
