National League of the Blind and Disabled
The National League of the Blind and Disabled (NLBD) was a trade union in the United Kingdom.
The union was founded, as the National League of the Blind, in 1899,〔Arthur Ivor Marsh, ''Trade Union Handbook'', p.132〕 and it affiliated to the Trades Union Congress in 1902. It was initially led by Ben Purse, a piano tuner,〔"(The National League of the Blind )", Public and Commercial Services Union〕 while, during the 1900s, its secretary was Thomas Summerbell.〔Margaret 'Espinasse, ''Dictionary of Labour Biography'', vol.IV, pp.165-166〕
The League organised its first strike in 1912. In 1920, it organised marches to Trafalgar Square from Leeds, Manchester and Newport in support of what became the Blind Persons Act 1920. This action inspired the later Jarrow March.〔 Purse left the union in 1921, forming the National Union of Industrial and Professional Blind, which later became the National Association of Blindworkers, and focused on providing benefits to its members.〔〔Arthur Ivor Marsh, ''Historical Directory of Trade Unions, Vol. 5'', p.480〕 The National League organised a further march in 1936, which met with less success, although it did achieve further Blind Persons Act in 1938.〔
The union renamed itself as the "National League of the Blind and Disabled" in 1968, and by 1979 had a membership of just under 5,000.〔 By 2000, it had 4,000 members, and it merged into the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation.〔"(STEEL union ISTC has merged with the National League of the Blind and Disabled )", ''Tribune'',10 March 2000〕
