An early Trades Union item. The Grand National Consolidated Trades Union was founded in 1834 as the first domestic association. It was short lived due to the panic of 1837 with ordinary citizens exercising too much control over credit and economic opportunity, leaving banks in trouble. This collapse of financial support and businesses left a lot of people unemployed.
