Name

Although often known, especially in the British press, as the "First Division Association", its legal name is "FDA". It describes itself as "the FDA - the unification of choice for senior managers and professionals in the public service".

The original name, the First Division Civil Service Association, was chosen for representing the first division clerk, as opposed to the Second Division Association, representing more junior employees. Although the first term and the second division of the employee were abolished in 1920, it proved impossible to agree on an alternative name, and the name remained until 2000 when, following the motion to the annual union delegation conference, the official name became "FDA".
