The National Association of Unions in the Textile Trade (NAUTT) was a trade union federation in the United Kingdom.
The federation was founded in 1916.Encyclopædia Britannica, 14th edition, vol.22, p.380 Despite its name, it included unions in only two areas of the textile trade: the wool industry, and textile finishing. Most aspects of the cotton industry were instead covered by the Northern Counties Textile Trades Federation.Lynden Briscoe, The Textile and Clothing Industries of the United Kingdom, p.179 While it had a large number of members, most were small unions, often local in scope, and the bulk of the membership came from the dyers' union.
By 1979, the federation had been renamed as the "National Association of Unions in Textiles", and its members were:Jack Eaton and Colin Gill, The Trade Union Directory (1979), p.3
Cloth Pressers Society Huddersfield Healders and Twisters Trade and Friendly Society Managers' and Overlookers' Society National Union of Dyers, Bleachers and Textile Workers Pattern Weavers' Society Scottish Council of Textile Trade Unions
The National Union of Dyers merged into the Transport and General Workers' Union in 1982, and it appears that the federation dissolved around that date.
