Australian District of Amalgamated Society of Carpenters & Joiners (1911 - 1922)

Related EntriesOnline SourcesArchival/Heritage SourcesPublished Sources
Function: Trade Union (Federal)
Reflecting its status as a branch of its English parent union, this Society was registered as the Australian District of Amalgamated Society of Carpenters & Joiners in 1911 [ASC&J]. By the end of 1922 the name had been amended to become the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters & Joiners of Australia. This original ASC & J operated until the end of the Second World War when its name was changed to the Building Workers' Industrial Union of Australia in 1945. The Building Workers' Industrial Union of Australia, however, functioned for just three more years until it was deregistered in 1948. The name Amalgamated Society of Carpenters & Joiners was ultimately taken over by a rival, anti-Communist breakaway in 1950. The Building Workers' Industrial Union of Australia was eventually reregistered in 1962.
