History
The Amalgamated Society of Operative House and Ship Painters was founded in Manchester in 1856. It became the National Union of Painters in 1941, and the Amalgamated Society of Painters and Decorators in 1961. The Society's engagements were transferred to the Amalgamated Society of Woodworkers in 1970, (now part of the Union of Construction and Allied Trade Technicians).
