Vehicle Builders Employees Federation of Australia (1938 - 1993) |
||||
|

| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | ||||
| While the industry can trace its origins to the coach-building workshops established in the 1850s, it was not until the late 1890s that a union was established. Initially known as the Coach-Makers' Society, it was registered in 1917 as the Australian Coach Motor Car Tram Car Waggon Builders Wheelwrights and Rolling Stock Makers Employees' Federation. In 1930 it was registered again as the Australian Coach Motor Car Tram Car Waggon Builders Wheelwrights & Air Craft Rolling Stock Makers Employees’ Federation. In 1938 the union became known as the Vehicle Builders Employees' Federation until 1993 when it amalgamated with the Metals and Engineering Workers' Union to form the Automotive Metals and Engineering Union. From 1994, following an amalgamation with the Confectionery Workers' & Food Preservers’ Union of Australia, it was known as the Automotive Food Metals and Engineering Union. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
