Australian Textile Workers Union (ii) (1984 - 1987) |
|||
|
|||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | |||
| Mark II of the Australian Textile Workers' Union was formed in 1984 following a merger of the original version of the Australian Textile Workers Union and the Federated Felt Hatting & Allied Trade Employees' Union of Australia. Although both of these unions can be easily traced to the early twentieth century, there is evidence that the Federated Felt Hatting Employees' Union of Australasia (the precursor to the Federated Felt Hatting & Allied Trade Employees' Union of Australia), which was formed in 1912, had its origins in the Victorian Silk Hatters' Society which existed from about 1886 to about 1894. In 1987 the Australian Textile Workers' Union merged with the Australian Boot Trade Employees' Union to form the Amalgamated Footwear & Textile Workers Union of Australia. In 1992 the union amalgamated with the Clothing & Allied Trades Union of Australia to become the Textile Clothing & Footwear Union of Australia.
