Amalgamated Metals Foundry & Shipwrights Union (1983 - 1985) |
||||
|
||||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | ||||
| Formed by the amalgamation of the Federated Moulders' (Metals) Union of Australia and the Amalgamated Metal Workers' & Shipwrights' Union in 1983, the Amalgamated Metals Foundry & Shipwrights' Union had within its membership sheet metal workers, boilermakers, engineers, jewellers, moulders and of course, shipwrights and ship constructors. In 1985 the union changed its name to the Amalgamated Metal Workers’ Union to more adequately reflect the plethora of metal workers under its protection. A round of amalgamations saw this name change again, this time to the Metals and Engineering Workers' Union (1991), the Automotive Metals & Engineering Union (1993), and finally the Automotive Food Metals & Engineering Union in 1994. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
