Thomas Otley
Thomas H. Otley (1861 – July 1922) was a British trade union leader. Otley worked as a plasterer. His cousin, Arthur Otley, served as general secretary of the National Association of Operative Plasterers (NAOP), which Thomas joined in 1890. In 1896, Arthur resigned in protest at the appointment of an assistant general secretary, J. Lamb. Lamb soon fell into conflict with the union's new general secretary, Michael Deller. After only three months, Thomas Otley replaced Lamb in the role, and worked closely with Deller. Deller died in January 1906, and Otley was appointed as acting general secretary. He easily won election to the permanent post, in which he focused on administration and made few changes. The union was struggling financially, and in 1909 the assistant general secretary was made redundant. He did arrange for the purchase of a new head office, at 37 Albert Street in London. From 1910, membership began increasing again, the Cork City Society of Plasterers j ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
British People
British people or Britons, also known colloquially as Brits, are the citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the British Overseas Territories, and the Crown dependencies.: British nationality law governs modern British citizenship and nationality, which can be acquired, for instance, by descent from British nationals. When used in a historical context, "British" or "Britons" can refer to the Ancient Britons, the indigenous inhabitants of Great Britain and Brittany, whose surviving members are the modern Welsh people, Cornish people, and Bretons. It also refers to citizens of the former British Empire, who settled in the country prior to 1973, and hold neither UK citizenship nor nationality. Though early assertions of being British date from the Late Middle Ages, the Union of the Crowns in 1603 and the creation of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 triggered a sense of British national identity.. The notion of Britishness and a shared Brit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
National Association Of Operative Plasterers
__NOTOC__ The National Association of Operative Plasterers (NAOP) was a trade union representing plasterers in the United Kingdom. The union was founded in 1860 and regarded itself as an amalgamation of three local societies. It immediately attracted a high membership for a union of the time, having 4,802 members in 1866, and although this fell to 2,400 by the end of the decade, it rose to 5,199 in 1876, representing nearly 20% of the total workforce.Arthur Marsh and Victoria Ryan, ''Historical Directory of British Trade Unions'', vol.3, pp.88-90 In 1895, both the Liverpool Operative Plasters' Trade, Accident and Burial Society, and the Metropolitan Trades Society of Operative Plasterers merged in, taking membership to 11,000, and a three-month strike in 1898 produced a national agreement on wages and working conditions. The union joined the National Federation of Building Trade Operatives in 1918, under the name of the National Association of Plasterers, Granolithic and Cemen ...

National Federation Of Building Trade Operatives
The National Federation of Building Trades Operatives (NFBTO) was a trade union federation in the United Kingdom, consisting of unions with members in construction and related industries. History In 1914, a group of workers attempted to form the Building Workers' Trade Union, a single industrial union to cover the entire construction industry. The existing unions in the industry opposed this, and held a conference in London in February 1915, to discuss their response. They decided to set up the National Associated Building Trades Council (NABTC). This focused on considering what industrial policies would be desirable after World War I was concluded. The council's members remained autonomous in all matters and were free to leave at will, but it attracted affiliations from most relevant unions:Arthur Marsh and Victoria Ryan, ''Historical Directory of British Trade Unions'', vol.3, pp.40-41 * Amalgamated Slaters', Tilers' and Roofing Operatives' Society * Amalgamated Society of Car ...

Arthur Henry Telling
Arthur Henry Telling OBE (born 28 March 1884) was a British trade unionist. Born in Gloucester, Telling became a plasterer. He joined the National Association of Operative Plasterers (NAOP), and began working full-time for the union in Newport, Wales. During World War I, he served with the Royal Army Medical Corps, and was awarded the Military Medal. In 1920, Telling was appointed as Assistant General Secretary of the NAOP, working under T. H. Otley. Otley died suddenly in 1922, and Telling was appointed as acting general secretary of the union, winning an election to the permanent post in September. Telling immediately began reforming the union, ensuring that regional representatives could take seats on the executive, and appointing accountants to audit the union’s accounts, rather than electing members to fill the role. Later, he appointed full-time organisers for every region. Despite many disputes and the depression, membership of the union generally increased und ...
