The Bermuda Union of Teachers (BUT) is a trade union representing education workers in Bermuda.
The union was founded in 1919, the first to be established in the country.[1] Its founders were Edith Crawford, Matilda Crawford, Rufus Stovell and Adele Tucker, who were inspired by the deaths of several colleagues who were struggling financially.[2]
Trade unions were not officially legalised in Bermuda until 1946, and the BUT was the first to register with the government.[1] In 1964, the union absorbed the Teachers' Association of Bermuda, which represented white teachers. As a result, the union renamed itself as the Amalgamated Bermuda Union of Teachers, but returned to its original name in 1997.[3]
