Federated Artificial Fertilizers & Chemical Workers Union of Australia (ii) (1948 - 1975) |
||||
|
||||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | ||||
| The Federated Artificial Fertilizers & Chemical Workers' Union of Australia originated as the Federated Artificial Manure Trade & Chemical Workers' Union of Australia. Formed in 1913 as a breakaway union to the then communist-controlled Federated Ironworkers’ Association, the Federated Artificial Manure Trade & Chemical Workers Union of Australia underwent a change of name in 1921 to the Federated Artificial Fertilizers & Chemical Workers’ Union of Australia [FAFCWU]. By the end of 1948 this union had been deregistered and then reregistered under the same name. In 1975 the FAFCWU was amalgamated back into the Federated Ironworkers’ Association of Australia. When the Australasian Society of Engineers merged with the union in 1991 it created the Federation of Industrial Manufacturing & Engineering Employees. By 1993 the union had amalgamated three more times, the last with the powerful Australian Workers’ Union, to ultimately form the AWU-FIME Amalgamated Union.
