National Glass Bottle Makers' Society

The National Glass Bottle Makers' Society was a trade union representing workers involved in the manufacture of glass bottles in the United Kingdom.

The union was founded in Leeds in 1903 as a split from the National Flint Glass Makers' Society of Great Britain and Ireland.[1] It affiliated to the Trades Union Congress (TUC), at which time it was led by F. Swann and had 987 members.[2] It soon left the TUC but remained active until it merged into the Transport and General Workers' Union in 1940.[2]
