craft union

Union that represents skilled manual or ‘craft’ workers, traditionally trained through apprenticeship schemes. Craft unions were first formed in the UK in the 19th century. Today they represent the same craft or group of crafts. Examples are the Manufacturing, Science, and Finance Union in the UK and the Union of Needletrades, Industrial, and Textile Employees in the USA.
