In 1892, it decided to broaden its remit to include other workers in textile factories, becoming the "Yeadon, Guiseley and District Factory Workers' Union", and in 1894 the Yeadon, Guiseley and District Fettlers' Union amalgamated with it.
[1] With the turn of the century, the union's membership began rising again, and by 1906 it had recovered to 489.
It led a major strike in 1913, involving 2,500 workers and lasting ten weeks.
This was a success, with a new agreement on pay and conditions for all workers signed with the Yeadon and Guiseley Manufacturers' Association, and the increased prestige of the union led to rapid membership growth, with 1,076 members by 1915, and 2,500 in 1918.
In 1922, it merged with the National Society of Dyers and Finishers and the General Union of Weavers and Textile Workers, forming the General Union of Textile Workers.
