Union of Australian College Academics (1987 - 1993) |
|||
|
|||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | |||
| The Union of Australian College Academics [UACA] was formed in 1987 to represent mainly academic staff in the Colleges of Advanced Education, following that membership base into the university sector as institutions amalgamated or changed their status. By 1993, however, UACA recognised the need to form a single, stronger union for the whole tertiary education industry. Merging with the Federated Australian University Staff Association [FAUSA], the Australian Colleges and Universities Staff Association [ACUSA], the University of Adelaide General Staff Association [UAGSA] and the Australian National University Administrative and Allied Officers’ Association [ANUAAOA], FAUSA helped form the National Tertiary Education Industry Union [NTEU]. The NTEU provided a united voice for tertiary education workers, without the old, arbitrary divisions between different parts of the industry or different categories of workers. The amalgamation was endorsed by an overwhelming majority of members of each of the five unions. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
