The Transport and General Workers' Union, also known as the TGWU and the T&G, was one of the largest generaltrade unions in the United Kingdom and Ireland - where it was known as the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers' Union (ATGWU) to differentiate itself from the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union - with 900,000 members (and was once the largest trade union in the world). It was founded in 1922, and its final general secretary was Tony Woodley.
At the time of its creation in 1922, the TGWU was the largest and most ambitious amalgamation brought about within trade unionism. Its structure combined regional organisation, based on Districts and Areas, with committee organisation by occupation, based on six broad Trade Groups. Trade groups were not closely linked to trades, but were elected by activists. Officials of the union were grouped by region, and could be asked to serve each or any trade group. The amalgamating unions were:
Membership of the union collapsed during the 1920s, with job losses due to the depression, the General Strike of 1926 and disputes over payments to members of the executive committee. In 1929, it merged into the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU), with about 100,000 members remaining to transfer. This enabled the TGWU, for the first time, to gain significant numbers of members outside of the docks and transport industries.
The Workers' Union (Faroese:Verkamannafylkingin, VMF) was a political party in the Faroe Islands.
History
The party won three seats in the 1994 elections, taken by Óli Jacobsen, Kristian Magnussen and Ingeborg Vinther. It joined the governing coalition, with Jacobsen, Magnussen and Axel H. Nolsøe serving as Ministers. However, it lost all three seats in the 1998 elections, when it received just 215 votes.
British Honduras Workers and Tradesmen's Union, the first central trade union organization in the Central American country Belize. Founded in 1939 by Antonio Soberanis Gómez. Registered as a legal trade union in 1943. Shortly thereafter it changed its name to General Workers Union (GWU).
GWU played an important role in the anticolonial movement. It reached its peak in 1955. Thereafter it declined rapidly.
The GWU was founded in 1943 and has been politically identified with the Labour Party (Malta) as the trade union is the major left-wing trade union in Malta. The two were statutorily fused from 1978 to 1992, and continue to share many common objectives as is common in several European States namely Britain.
The GWU is the largest trade union movement in Malta and organised in a confederation format of 8 Sections each to an extent autonomous in conducting industrial relations. It is one of the two trade union centers recognised by the European Trade Union Confederation and the employees representative delegation at the International Labour Organisation. The sections cover the manufacturing, services and the public sector of the Maltese labour market and thus organise a wide cross section of interests.
The union is affiliated to the International Trade Union Confederation and the European Trade Union Confederation as well as various sectoral international and European trade union federations covering the same sectors the GWU is organised therein.
Andriessen, Louis: Workers Union (1975) 20' for any loud-sounding group of instruments.
Composer's Notes
Workers Union was originally written for the orchestra De Volharding (Perseverance), in which I myself figured as a pianist at that time.
This piece is a combination of individual freedom and severe discipline: its rhythm is exactly fixed; the pitch, on the other hand, is indicated only approximately, on a single-lined stave.
It is difficult to play in an ensemble and to remain in step, sort of thing like organising and carrying on political action.

Culinary Workers Union Going Door To Door In Nevada On Behalf Of Democratic Candidates
In Nevada, the race between Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Republican challenger Adam Laxalt is close. The powerful political force, the Culinary Workers Union, is stumping on behalf of Democratic candidates, going door to door. Many say affordability is the most important issue to them. Republicans are hoping economic issues will tip the final result in their favor on election night.

What are Unions and how do they work? - Behind the News
Over the years, trade or labour unions have helped bring about things like a minimum wage, rules about safety and 8-hour work days. But some people are worried that some unions have become way too powerful. So what are unions?

Trade (or Labor) Unions Explained in One Minute: Definition/Meaning, History & Arguments For/Against
Should you join a trade union, or labor union as it is called in the United States? Well, let's just say that as this video makes clear, there are quite a few arguments in favor of being a trade/labor union member, despite there being arguments against as well.
But while the arguments in favor of joining trade unions seem to outweigh those against when it comes to the individual, how do things stand as far as society as a whole is concerned?
Do trade/labor union-related frustrations tend to build up over time? For example, do other workers end up considering trade union members spoiled... perhaps even at their expense? What about politicians, where do they stand when it comes to this topic?
As the video makes clear, trade/labor unions have had a somewhat "complex" history as of 1794 whe...

“How come we’ve seen such a decline in unionization in the US?” That’s the question we received from one of our viewers, Cameron when we put out a call for topics to explain. It comes at an interesting time.
Earlier this year, the Amazon Labor Union won its first election at a large warehouse in New York, and more than 200 Starbucks locations have voted to unionize since baristas in Buffalo broke the seal in December 2021. The National Labor Relations Board reports that petitions for union elections are up 56 percent this year compared to 2021.
This level of energy and momentum in the labor movement is remarkable in light of the long, steep decline in union membership rates since the 1950s. Social science has limited tools for establishing what caused that decline, and different experts tend to emphasize different factors. But in the video above, we dig into a few key drivers of low union density in the US relative to other wealthy countries.

Composer's Notes
Workers Union was originally written for the orchestra De Volharding (Perseverance), in which I myself figured as a pianist at that time.
This piece is a combination of individual freedom and severe discipline: its rhythm is exactly fixed; the pitch, on the other hand, is indicated only approximately, on a single-lined stave.
It is difficult to play in an ensemble and to remain in step, sort of thing like organising and carrying on political action.
Louis Andriessen
(1990)
CD version. Great quality.
In Nevada, the race between Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Republican challenger Adam Laxalt is close. The powerful political force, the Culinary Workers Union, is stumping on behalf of Democratic candidates, going door to door. Many say affordability is the most important issue to them. Republicans are hoping economic issues will tip the final result in their favor on election night.

Over the years, trade or labour unions have helped bring about things like a minimum wage, rules about safety and 8-hour work days. But some people are worried that some unions have become way too powerful. So what are unions?

📣 If the news feels chaotic to you these days, you're not alone. We want to answer your biggest questions about what's happening in the world today via our new video format: https://forms.gle/Mgp2oqa3gr8tNw1M7 📣
“How come we’ve seen such a decline in unionization in the US?” That’s the question we received from one of our viewers, Cameron when we put out a call for topics to explain. It comes at an interesting time.
Earlier this year, the Amazon Labor Union won its first election at a large warehouse in New York, and more than 200 Starbucks locations have voted to unionize since baristas in Buffalo broke the seal in December 2021. The National Labor Relations Board reports that petitions for union elections are up 56 percent this year compared to 2021.
This level of energy and momentum in the labor movement is remarkable in light of the long, steep decline in union membership rates since the 1950s. Social science has limited tools for establishing what caused that decline, and different experts tend to emphasize different factors. But in the video above, we dig into a few key drivers of low union density in the US relative to other wealthy countries.

Should you join a trade union, or labor union as it is called in the United States? Well, let's just say that as this video makes clear, there are quite a few arguments in favor of being a trade/labor union member, despite there being arguments against as well.
But while the arguments in favor of joining trade unions seem to outweigh those against when it comes to the individual, how do things stand as far as society as a whole is concerned?
Do trade/labor union-related frustrations tend to build up over time? For example, do other workers end up considering trade union members spoiled... perhaps even at their expense? What about politicians, where do they stand when it comes to this topic?
As the video makes clear, trade/labor unions have had a somewhat "complex" history as of 1794 when it comes to the US and the present comes with its own set of challenges. By explaining what trade unions are all about, how things work and why you should care, the video helps you pick a proverbial side in an informed manner.

The Transport and General Workers' Union, also known as the TGWU and the T&G, was one of the largest generaltrade unions in the United Kingdom and Ireland - where it was known as the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers' Union (ATGWU) to differentiate itself from the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union - with 900,000 members (and was once the largest trade union in the world). It was founded in 1922, and its final general secretary was Tony Woodley.
At the time of its creation in 1922, the TGWU was the largest and most ambitious amalgamation brought about within trade unionism. Its structure combined regional organisation, based on Districts and Areas, with committee organisation by occupation, based on six broad Trade Groups. Trade groups were not closely linked to trades, but were elected by activists. Officials of the union were grouped by region, and could be asked to serve each or any trade group. The amalgamating unions were:
