North of England Trimmers' and Teemers' Association
Former trade union of the United Kingdom
The North of England Trimmers' and Teemers Association was a trade union in the United Kingdom. The union was formed in 1871 and merged with the Tyne and Blyth association in 1902.[1] It had 1,500 members in 1908, increasing to 1,913 in 1915.[2]
Trimmers and teemers were employed in loading coal onto ships from staithes.[3] Teemers would open the trapdoors on rail waggons which had been positioned above the ships' hoppers.[3] The trimmers would then distribute the coal evenly around the hopper using shovels.[3]
The Trimmers and Teemers Association merged with the Transport and General Workers' Union in 1922.
