Trade union of Italy

The **Italian Union of Metalworkers** ([Italian](/source/Italian_language): *Unione Italiana Lavoratori Metalmeccanici*, UILM) is a [trade union](/source/Trade_union) representing metalworkers in Italy.

The union was founded on 5 March 1950 and was a founding affiliate of the [Italian Labour Union](/source/Italian_Labour_Union) (UIL). Its leading figure was Arturo Chiari who, like most of the members, had previously been active in the [Italian Federation of Metalworkers](/source/Italian_Federation_of_Metalworkers). By the end of the year, it claimed 400,000 members, being particularly strong at the [FIAT](/source/FIAT) factory in Turin, although by 1997, this had fallen to 100,453. Other general secretaries have included [Giorgio Benvenuto](/source/Giorgio_Benvenuto) and [Luigi Angeletti](/source/Luigi_Angeletti).[1][2]
