The union was founded in 1938 with the merger of the National Asphalt Workers' Union and the Northern Asphalt Workers' Union. Although its membership was always small, it covered the entirety of Great Britain and workers involved in all aspects of asphalt, from manufacture to construction workers.
In 1980, the union had 2,680 members. In 1988, it merged into the Transport and General Workers' Union."The British merger movement", Industrial Relations Journal, Vol.30, No.5
