(UCATT) Union of Construction Allied Trades & Technicians - membership badge (1970’s - 1990’s)
The Union of Construction Allied Trades & Technicians (UCATT) represents workers in the construction industries and had around 125,500 members across the UK and Ireland working in both the private and public sectors (as at June 2016). As a result of long running financial difficulties, UCATT members voted to join with Unite the Union in January 2017.
Other British trade unions with large numbers of workers in the construction industries are the General Municipal Boilermakers’ union (GMB) and the Transport & General Workers' Union (TGWU).
This badge depicts the UCATT’s emblem, a three-link chain logo with each link representing their three founding unions (see below). Anyone know what years this badge was in use with UCATT?

Timeline:
1971 - UCATT formed from the merger of three building sector unions bringing its membership to more than 260,000 members. The three founding unions of UCATT were the Amalgamated Union of Building Trade Workers (AUBTW), the Association of Building Technicians and the Amalgamated Society of Woodworkers and Decorators.
1990 - UCATT admits self-employed construction workers.
2017 - UCATT merged with Unite the Union.
