National Union of Vehicle Builders

The National Union of Vehicle Builders (NUVB) was a trade union in the United Kingdom. The NUVB represented a mixture of skilled and unskilled workers in the automotive industry.[1]

The union was formed in 1834 as the United Kingdom Society of Coachmakers, adopting the name National Union of Vehicle Builders in 1919.[2] In 1934 it had 20,439 members, divided into 150 branches.[3] The union's increase in dues, was the basis for the 1950 court case Edwards v Halliwell. It merged with the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU) in 1972, forming a new automotive trade group within the TGWU.[4]
