Description
This is a large red, white and blue poster. It reads "more power to your arm. Join the NUDAW. The trade union with the punch." The poster shows an image of a fist in a boxing glove. The Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (Usdaw) is a trade union in the United Kingdom, consisting of around 400,000 members. Usdaw members work in a variety of occupations and industries. The union was formed in 1947 by the merger of the National Union of Distributive and Allied Workers and the National Union of Shop Assistants, Warehousemen and Clerks. Some other unions have since merged in, including the Amalgamated Society of Boot and Shoe Makers and Repairers in 1955, and the Scottish Union of Bakers and Allied Workers in 1978.
