Victorian Coal Miners Association (1907 - 1914) |
||||
|
||||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | ||||
| Location: Victoria | ||||
| Originating in Wonthaggi and its nearby State Coal Mine, the Victorian Coal Miners’ Association was officially registered in 1907 but was deregistered by 1914. Its members however, were quickly absorbed into the newly formed Australasian Coal Miners’ Association that same year. In 1916 this union changed its name to the Australasian Coal & Shale Employees’ Federation which operated until 1990 when it amalgamated with the Federated Mining Mechanics' Association of Australasia to form the United Mineworkers’ Federation of Australia. Another amalgamation with the ATAIU & BWIU Amalgamated Union in 1992 and later that year with the Federated Engine Drivers' & Firemen's Association of Australasia and the Operative Plasterers' & Plaster Workers' Federation of Australia instigated the formation of the Construction Forestry & Mining Employees' Union and later the Construction Forestry Mining & Energy Union. This union was reregistered as the Construction Forestry Mining & Energy Union in 1993 following amalgamations with the Federated Furnishing Trade Society of Australasia and the Operative Painters' & Decorators' Union of Australia. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
