ASLEF Scottish District Council - centenary commemorative badge (1980’s / 1990's)

The Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen (ASLEF) are an independent ‘craft’ union that represents the interests of railway train drivers and locomotive firemen. Other railway workers and administrative staff were represented by different trade unions with no direct connections to ASLEF. As such, members of ASLEF saw themselves as an elite within a hierarchy of railway workers having special status and highly paid in comparison.

 

ASLEF was founded in 1880 and today remain an independent trade union with some 18,500 members throughout Britain. Anyone know what year the Scottish District Council was established?
