Amalgamated Society of Carpenters & Joiners of Australia (ii) (1950 - 1951) |
|||
|
|||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | |||
| Registered in 1950, the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners of Australia was an anti-Communist breakaway from the deregistered Building Workers' Industrial Union of Australia which had prior to this, been known also as the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners. This new union became federally registered and strongest in Victoria and South Australia and remained active and opposed to the Building Workers' Industrial Union until it was, itself, deregistered in 1951. Formed again in 1952 under the same name, this latest version of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners of Australia lasted until 1992 when it eventually amalgamated with a number of other unions into the Federation of Industrial Manufacturing and Engineering Employees [FIMEE], which in turn amalgamated with the powerful Australian Workers' Union in 1993 to form the AWU-FIME Amalgamated Union. From 1996 it has operated as the Building Construction and Joinery Branch of the Australian Workers' Union. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
