About this objectThe National Union of Agricultural and Allied Workers, or NUAW, was a United Kingdom based trade union, representing farmworkers between 1906 and 1982. It was originally established in Norfolk, going by the name of Eastern Counties Agricultural Labourers & Small Holders Union.
In 1910, the organisation changed its name to the National Agricultural Labourers and Rural Workers Union. In 1920, the union became the National Union of Agricultural Workers, and in 1968 the National Union of Agricultural and Allied Workers. The union dissolved when it became the Agricultural Section of the Transport and General Workers' Union in 1982.
Enamel pins, or lapel pins, are small pins worn on clothing, attached to bags, or otherwise attached to fabric. They often show the wearers affiliation with an organisation or cause, but they can also exist purely as decoration. These pins were frequently given to members of organisations as a symbol of accomplishment, and have been used by employers to motivate their employees.
In more recent times enamel pins have become a popular collectable item. This newly enjoyed hobby has created demand for many more decorative pins, such as pins depicting popular cartoon characters. It has also led to the creation of pin trading events, providing a social community for pin collectors.
