Shropshire Miners' Association
Former trade union in the United Kingdom
The Shropshire Miners', Enginemen's and Surfacemen's Federation, often known as the Shropshire Miners' Association, was a trade union representing coal miners in Shropshire, in England.
The union was founded in 1886, and before the end of the year, it became a founding affiliate of the Midland Counties Miners' Federation. In 1887, William Latham was elected as its general secretary. Always a small union, it had 830 members in 1896, in seven lodges, and 1,600 members in 1907.[1][2]
In 1945, the National Union of Mineworkers was established, and the association became the Shropshire District of its Midland Area. A couple of years later, it merged into the South Staffordshire District.[1][3]
