Description
Large white, green, black, red and yellow poster. Reads "Put inferior wages and conditions in the shade. Join the NUDAW. Your trade union." 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.
