The PLWTU was established on 7 Dec 1918; amalgamation negotiations with the NAWU in the early 1920s came to nothing and were followed by a change of name in 1922 to the Poor Law Officers Union. Following the Local Government Act of 1929, the Union became the National Union of County Officers, and following the recommendations of the Beveridge Report (1942), NUCO became the Hospitals & Welfare Services Union. This amalgamated with the MHIWU in 1946 to form COHSE.
