Federated Australian University Staff Association (1988 - 1993) |

|

| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | |||
| The Federated Australian University Staff Association [FAUSA] was originally formed in 1986 as the Australian Association of University Staff but was renamed two years later to FAUSA. FAUSA represented mainly academic staff in the traditional university sector. By 1993, however, FAUSA recognised the need to form a single, stronger union for the whole tertiary education industry. Merging with the Union of Australian College Academics [UACA], the Australian Colleges and Universities Staff Association [ACUSA], the University of Adelaide General Staff Association [UAGSA] and the Australian National University Administrative and Allied Officers’ Association [ANUAAOA], FAUSA helped form the National Tertiary Education Industry Union. The NTEU provided a united voice for tertiary education workers, without the old, arbitrary divisions between different parts of the industry or different categories of workers. The amalgamation was endorsed by an overwhelming majority of members of each of the five unions. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
