National Union Of Insurance Workers
{{short description, Former trade union of the United Kingdom The National Union of Insurance Workers (NUIW) was a trade union representing workers in the insurance industry in the United Kingdom. The union was formed in 1964, when the National Amalgamated Union of Life Insurance Workers merged with the National Federation of Insurance Workers. Initially, the union operated as a federation, with affiliates representing workers at larger individual companies, and a Composite Section for workers at smaller companies. Several of these sections left in the 1970s to join the Association of Scientific, Technical and Managerial Staffs. Three sections remained, representing workers at the Prudential, Liverpool Victoria and the Royal London, and these merged into the central union in 1984.Arthur Marsh and John B. Smethurst, ''Historical Directory of Trade Unions'', vol.5, p.307 The union's membership fell over the years, from 25,740 in 1974, to only 12,519 in 1993. In 2000, it merged ...

Irish Trades Union Congress
The Irish Trades Union Congress (ITUC) was a union federation covering the island of Ireland. History Until 1894, representatives of Irish trade unions attended the British Trades Union Congress (TUC). However, many felt that they had little impact on the British body, and the Dublin Trades Council had twice tried and failed to form an Irish federation of trade unions. Its third attempt, the Irish Trades Union Congress, met for the first time in April 1894. Although some Irish delegates continued to attend the British TUC, their decision to bar representatives of trades councils from 1895 increased dissatisfaction, and the ITUC soon became the leading Irish union federation. Despite this, the new federation adopted the form of the British TUC, differentiating itself primarily by offering lower subscription rates and lower costs for delegates to attend its annual congress. In 1900, the British TUC asked the ITUC to amalgamate with it, but this request was rejected.Joan Campbel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Red Lion Square
Red Lion Square is a small square in Holborn, London. The square was laid out in 1684 by Nicholas Barbon, taking its name from the Red Lion Inn. According to some sources, the bodies of three regicides—Oliver Cromwell, John Bradshaw and Henry Ireton—were placed in a pit on the site of the square. By 1720, it was a fashionable part of London: the eminent judge Sir Bernard Hale was a resident of Red Lion Square. The square was "beautified" pursuant to a 1737 Act of Parliament. In the 1860s, on the other hand, it had clearly become decidedly unfashionable: the writer Anthony Trollope in his novel '' Orley Farm'' (1862) humorously reassures his readers that one of his characters is perfectly respectable, despite living in Red Lion Square. The Metropolitan Public Gardens Association's landscape gardener Fanny Wilkinson laid it out as a public garden in 1885, and, in 1894, the trustees of the square passed the freehold to the MPGA, which, in turn, passed it to the London County ...

Prudential Staff Union
The Prudential Staff Union was a trade union representing workers at the Prudential insurance company, in the United Kingdom. The only union of insurance workers to affiliate to the Labour Party, it was briefly represented on its National Executive Committee, and for a time sponsored a Member of Parliament. History In the 1900s, many staff at the Prudential were represented by the National Association of Prudential Assurance Agents (NAPAA). It was led by socialist activists and frequently came into conflict with the company, particularly in its calls for a Charter of Rights for employees. The Prudential Staff Federation was founded in October 1909 as a more moderate rival union. It claimed that the NAPAA was undemocratic, and that it excluded staff other than agents from membership. In contrast, it admitted even superintendents into membership, and called for workers to help the company be more prosperous, an approach strongly favoured by the company's management. H. Birn ...

Trade Unions Established In 1919
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 ...
