National School Union Explained

The National School Union (it|Sindacato Nazionale Scuola, SNS) was a trade union representing workers in schools in Italy.

The union was founded on 16 December 1967, at a conference in Ariccia.^[1] It affiliated to the Italian General Confederation of Labour (CGIL), and by 1985 it had 137,254 members, but this figure began falling, and by 1998 was down to 98,834.^[2] In 1996, it became part of the Second Level Federation (School - University - Research - Training) section of CGIL, along with the National Union of University and Research. In 2004, the two unions merged, forming the Federation of Education Workers.^[3]
