|||
|
|||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | |||
| Registered in 1912, the Federated Felt Hatting Employees’ Union of Australasia and its predecessors flourished from the nineteenth century up until midway through the twentieth century in what was a protected domestic industry. Reregistering as the Federated Felt Hatting & Allied Trade Employees’ Union of Australia in 1950 the industry, and consequently, the union began to wain before the multiple onslaught of mechanisation, imports and fashion. In 1984 it amalgamated with the Australian Textile Workers’ Union and in 1987 became the Amalgamated Footwear & Textile Workers’ Union of Australia after another amalgamation, this time with the Australian Boot Trade Employees' Federation. By 1992 this union had merged with the Clothing & Allied Trades Union of Australia to form the Textile Clothing & Footwear Union of Australia.
