ABSTRACT

ASSOCIATION OF CIVIL SERVANTS IN THE GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND The Association of Established Civil Servants [qv] reorganised under this new banner in 1934. The union then began to recruit temporary staff and raised subscriptions to a level where a full time secretary (A.B. Douglas) could be appointed. Membership rose to 1093 in 1937. In the same year the government finally agreed to recognise and negotiate with Douglas. A further reorganisation in 1950 led to a new title, the Northern Ireland Civil Service Association [qv].
