Federated Storemen & Packers Union of Australia (1912 - 1988) |
||||
|
||||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | ||||
| The Federated Storemen and Packers' Union was formed in 1912 with the amalgamation of the Federated Rubber and Allied Workers' Union of Australia. Under the federal leadership of Percy Clarey, General President from 1918 to 1960 and later of Bill Landeryou and Simon Crean, the union established a wide coverage within the key wool, oil and transport industries as well as across a wide spectrum of manufacturing activities. From 1988 the union underwent a series of amalgamations, starting with the Federated Rubber & Allied Workers’ Union to form the National Union of Storeworkers Packers Rubber & Allied Workers. In 1991 this new union merged with the Sales Representatives' and Commercial Travellers’ Guild and the Commonwealth Foremens’ Association to create the National Union of Workers. A year later the National Union of Workers reregistered following further amalgamations with the Federated Cold Storage & Meat Preserving Union of Australasia and the Federated Millers' & Manufacturing Grocers' Association of Australasia.
