Another union office building (see
2),
this one was constructed for the National Union of General and
Municipal Workers to serve their 80000 members in and around
Birmingham. I guess it's no surprise that, in 2014, the building
had been empty for a number of years as union membership
declined. The National Union of General and Municipal Workers
became part of the
GMB in
1982.
10 Pershore Street in September 1980,
then the home of the National Union of Shop Distributive and Allied
Workers.
