Description:

These files contain formal documents recording the merger of two trade unions or employers associations to form a new organisation. A merger can take place through the transfer of engagements (eg membership, property) from one trade union or employers association to another or through an amalgamation.

These files contain: notices, instruments, applications for the registration of instruments (records the members' votes) and statutory declarations of amalgamations/transfers of engagements.
