The National Laundry Workers' Union was a small trade union representing laundry workers in the United Kingdom, particularly around Edinburgh.
The union was in existence by the summer of 1917,[1] and by 1920 it had about 1,000 members, the large majority of them women.
[2] J. H. Moore, its delegate to the Trades Union Congress (TUC), was elected to the General Council of the TUC in 1923,[3] but union membership had by this time dropped to only 327 and never recovered.
[2] The union remained affiliated to the TUC until 1940, and appears to have dissolved before 1947.
