Operative Painters & Decorators of Australasia (1915 - 1918) |
||||
|
||||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | ||||
| The Operative Painters' and Decorators' Union originated as a craft union in the nineteenth century and has retained that tradition within the building industry at both state branch and federal level until large scale union amalgamations, initiated by the Australian Council of Trade Unions were considered in the late 1980s. Registered federally for the first time as the Federated House & Ship Painters Paperhangers & Decorators Employees’ Association Australasia in 1910, by 1915 it had changed names to become the Operative Painters & Decorators of Australasia. In 1918 the name changed again slightly to the Operative Painters' & Decorators' Union of Australia. Seventy-five years later, the union amalgamated to form the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union in 1993. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
