Sheet Metal Working Industrial Union of Australia (1913 - 1945) |
||||
|
||||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | ||||
| Originally registered as the Amalgamated Tinsmiths' Sheet Metal Workers' Cannister Makers' Gas Meter Makers' & Assistants' Union in 1911, this union's lineage actually dates back to the United Tinsmiths' Ironworkers' and Japanners’ Society of Victoria which operated from 1883. From 1913 the Amalgamated Tinsmiths' Sheet Metal Workers' Cannister Makers' Gas Meter Makers' & Assistants' Union had changed to become the Sheet Metal Working Industrial Union of Australia. During the mid 1940s, members of the soon-to-be deregistered Federated Agricultural Implement & Stovemakers' Porcelain Enamellers' & Ironworkers' Association of Australia began to fill the ranks of the Sheet Metal Working Industrial Union of Australia to the extent that by 1945, the union changed its name to the Sheet Metal Working Agricultural Implement & Stove Making Industrial Union of Australia. This union was itself deregistered in 1972. Many of its members, however, were inducted into the Amalgamated Engineering Union, which a year later became the Amalgamated Metal Workers’ Union. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
