Amalgamated Union of Engineering and Foundry Workers (Foundry Section), later the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers (Foundry Section) and predecessors
In 1967 the Amalgamated Union of Foundry Workers merged with the Amalgamated Engineering Union and became the foundry section of the Amalgamated Union of Engineering and Foundry Workers. After further mergers with the Constructional Engineering Union and the Draughtsmen and Allied Technicians' Association in 1970 it became the foundry section of the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers.
