Civil Service Federation (Canada)
The Civil Service Alliance was a trade union federation bringing together civil servants in the United Kingdom. Predecessors The organisation's origins lay in the Civil Service Federation, established by nine unions in 1911. By the following year, it represented 102,000 civil servants. It focused on giving evidence to government commissions and discussing the possibility of political action. The unions representing clerical workers objected to this focus, and in 1916 all except the post office clerks' unions left the federation. In 1917, the Assistant Clerks' Association, Civil Service Typists' Association, Federation of Women Civil Servants and Second Division Clerks' Association established a new Civil Service Alliance. The Association of Superintendents and Deputy Superintendents of the Board of Trade Mercantile Marine Offices, Association of Tax Clerks and Boy Clerks' Association also joined before the end of the year, and by 1920 the alliance had 28 full members, 7 associ ...

Trade Union Federation
A national trade union center (or national center or central) is a federation or confederation of trade unions in a country. Nearly every country in the world has a national trade union center, and many have more than one. In some regions, such as the Nordic countries, different centers exist on a sectoral basis, for example for blue collar workers and professionals. Among the larger national centers in the world are the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations and the Change to Win Federation in the USA; the Canadian Labour Congress; the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in Britain; the Irish Congress of Trade Unions; the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU); the Congress of South African Trade Unions; the Dutch FNV; the Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish LO; the German DGB; the French CGT and CFDT; the Indian BMS, INTUC, AITUC and HMS; the Italian CISL, CGIL and UIL; the Spanish CCOO, CNT, CGT and USO; the Czech ČMKOS; the Japan Trade Union Confe ...

Jamaica Civil Service Association
The Jamaica Civil Service Association is an association representing the civil servants of Jamaica. History Approval was given by the government of the day to the Public Officers Memorial Committee for the formation of the Jamaica Civil Service Association (JCSA) on 6 May 1919. In 1912, due to poor working conditions and low salaries in the public service in Jamaica, public officers petitioned the government to get improvements in these areas for the various grades of officers in the service. Although the colonial government admitted that the public officer's claim was justified, because of the austerity that World War I which was raging in Europe brought on the government, the claims could not be met. As such public officers were unable to seriously press their claims for improvements until 1918 when the First World War had ended and the country's economic conditions became less acute. With the war over and normality returning, a meeting of public officers was called and it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trade Unions Established In 1939
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services, i.e. trading things without the use of money. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and letter of credit, paper money, and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labour, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrate on a small aspect of production, but use their output in trades for other products an ...

Leonard Charles White (12 November 1897''1939 England and Wales Register'' – 11 May 1955) was a British trade union leader.

County Court Officers' Association
The Court Officers' Association was a trade union representing staff in the British county court system. The union described itself as having been founded in 1885 as the County Court Association, although a union of this name existed as early as 1881. It renamed itself as the County Court (Clerical and Officers) Association in 1912, and as the County Court Officers' Association in 1921. The union represented clerks, bailiffs, ushers and typists working in the county courts, and was the only union recognised by the government to negotiate on their behalf. In 1924, county court staff officially became civil servants, and the union thereafter worked closely with other civil service unions. It joined the Civil Service Confederation, and then in 1939 became a founder member of its successor, the Civil Service Alliance. It joined the Trades Union Congress in 1966, at which time it had 5,190 members. From 1969, it was represented on the staff side of the Whitley Council for the civ ...

Ministry Of Labour Staff Association
The Ministry of Labour Staff Association (MLSA) was a British trade union representing civil servants working in the Ministry of Labour. The union was founded in 1912 as the National Federation of Employment Department Clerks, bringing together five largely autonomous regional unions of clerks in the newly-established labour exchanges. The union gradually grew, admitting women from 1914, and temporary staff as associate members from 1918. That year, the regional unions amalgamated fully, and the federation became the Employment Department Clerks' Association.{{cite book , last1=Marsh , first1=Arthur , last2=Ryan , first2=Victoria , title=Historical Directory of Trade Unions , volume=1 , date=1980 , publisher=Gower , location=Farnborough , isbn=0566021609 , pag128, url=https://archive.org/details/historicaldirect0004mars/page/128 Despite the amalgamation, the union failed to grow further, partly because temporary staff were not willing to join a union which would permit them on ...

Inland Revenue Staff Federation
The Inland Revenue Staff Federation (IRSF) was a trade union in the United Kingdom. History The Union was born in the late 19th century, when a group of tax clerks met together to fight for higher pay, higher status and better conditions. At that time clerks were hired by surveyors of taxes, they were usually employed on a temporary basis, paid low wages and denied sick leave, holidays or promotion. Clerks who asked for better conditions were branded as agitators and sacked. So it took courage when a group of clerks met on 8 January 1892 and agreed a draft constitution to set up the Association of Tax Clerks another of the Federation's parent unions.IRSF 1936–1986: A Jubilee Celebration, at Congress House on 28 October 1986.

Civil Service Clerical Association
The Civil and Public Services Association (CPSA) was a trade union in the United Kingdom, representing civil servants. History The union was founded in 1921, when the Civil Service Clerical Union and the Clerical Officers' Association merged to form the Civil Service Clerical Association (CSCA). It affiliated with the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and the Labour Party and had around 16,000 members. Its Dublin branch left the following year, to form the Civil and Public Services Union. Following the 1926 United Kingdom general strike, the Trade Disputes and Trade Unions Act 1927 was passed, requiring government employees to disaffiliate from political parties and trades union confederations, compelling the union to leave the Labour Party and the TUC. It rejoined the TUC in 1946. In 1969, the union renamed itself the Civil and Public Services Association. In 1973, the Ministry of Labour Staff Association joined the CPSA, then the Court Officers Association joined in 1974. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Union Of Post Office Workers

Civil Servant
The civil service is a collective term for a sector of government composed mainly of career civil servants hired on professional merit rather than appointed or elected, whose institutional tenure typically survives transitions of political leadership. A civil servant, also known as a public servant, is a person employed in the public sector by a government department or agency for public sector undertakings. Civil servants work for central and state governments, and answer to the government, not a political party. The extent of civil servants of a state as part of the "civil service" varies from country to country. In the United Kingdom (UK), for instance, only Crown (national government) employees are referred to as "civil servants" whereas employees of local authorities (counties, cities and similar administrations) are generally referred to as "local government civil service officers", who are considered public servants but not civil servants. Thus, in the UK, a civil servant is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
