Normanton and District Trades and Labour Council

The Normanton and District Trades and Labour Council was a trade union which represented workers in Normanton. As a group aligned with the Liberal-Labour movement, they at times selected candidates to take part in the Normanton Urban District Council elections.

History
The Trades and Labour Council was involved in a legal suit in 1896 when its President, Mr. S. Jacks, was evicted from his house at 7 Silkstone Row and told to quit his job.

Also in this year, Jacks himself ran for election in the Altofts Urban District Council along with Walter Grieves.
