2016SMUV (Schweizerischer Metall- und Uhrenarbeiterverband, later Gewerkschaft 
Industrie, Gewerbe, Dienstleistungen)
FTMH (Fédération suisse des 
travailleurs de la métallurgie et de l'horlogerie, later Syndicat de l'industrie, 
de la construction et des services)
FMLO (Federazione svizzera dei lavoratori 
metallurgici e orologiai, later Sindacato dell'industria, della costruzione e 
dei servizi)
(= Swiss Union of Metal and Horology Workers, later Trade Union 
Industry, Construction and Services)
The SMUV/FTMH/FMLO was founded in 
1915 and adopted its later name in 1992 (but kept the old abbreviations). In 
2004, it merged with VHTL/FCTA, unia, GBI/SIB/SEI and "actions" to form the new 
trade union "Unia". It was active among metal workers and clock workers. 
The logo in the 1980s and 1990s showed a white demi-cogwheel combined with a 
stylized clock (the hands in black or red) on a grey field; to the left the 
abbreviations in three languages in black.
One flag used this logo on a 
red field; in this case, the clock arms were black [1,2,3,4,5,6,7].
Another flag showed the logo on a white field; in this case, the clock arms were 
red [1,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16].
