Australian Glass Workers Union (1918 - 1992) |
|||
|
|||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | |||
| This small union grew out of the Amalgamated Glass Bottle-makers' Union, which had formed before the turn of the century but wasn’t registered federally until 1909. It changed to the Australian Glass Workers’ Union in 1918. Demand for indigenous glass making capabilities during World War One saw to its consolidation, and after World War Two many European migrants entered the industry. In September 1992 the Australian Glass Workers’ Union was amalgamated into the Federation of Industrial Manufacturing & Engineering Employees. This union grew in size and strength through further amalgamations in November 1992 but reached its zenith through the amalgamation with the Australian Workers Union to form the AWU-FIME Amalgamated Union in 1993, later known simply as the AWU. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
