The Northern Counties Amalgamated Association of Tramway and Hackney Carriage Employees was founded in 1889. In 1893 it became the Northern Counties Amalgamated Association of Tramway and Hackney Carriage Employees and Horsemen in General, in 1902 the Tramway, Hackney Carriage Employees and Horsemen's Association, and in 1903 the Amalgamated Association of Tramway and Vehicle Workers. By 1910 the Amalgamated Association was the main national union for tramway employees, and also catered for bus workers, cab drivers and commercial transport workers. In 1919 it merged with the London and Provincial Union of Licensed Vehicle Workers to become the United Vehicle Workers.
