Federated Liquor & Allied Industries Employees Union of Australia (1958 - 1992) |
||||
|

| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | ||||
| In 1910 the Victorian Liquor Trades Union met with other interstate brewery unions to form a federated union, the Federated Liquor Trade Employees’ Union of Australasia. Between then and now the union has expanded its membership into allied industries and now covers hotel workers, restaurants, clubs, caterers, boarding houses, yeast and vinegar factories and canteens. In 1918, in order to reflect this expansion the union was renamed the Federated Liquor And Allied Industries Employees’ Union of Australasia. In 1958 efforts to effect another name change resulted in the Federated Liquor And Allied Industries Employees’ Union of Australia. The Union has a chequered history of involvement with women in related industries. In 1992 it amalgamated with the Miscellaneous Workers' Union to form the Australian Liquor Hospitality & Miscellaneous Workers' Union. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
