Amalgamated Metal Workers Union (i) (1973 - 1976) |
|||
|
|||
| Function: Trade Union (Federal) | |||
| While directly stemming from the Amalgamated Engineering Union, this union has formed and reformed from the amalgamations of many metal trades unions. In 1973 it joined the Amalgamated Engineering Union, unions representing sheet metal workers, boilermakers and blacksmiths as well as the Federated Jewellers' Watchmakers' & Allied Trades Union of Australia to form the Amalgamated Metal Workers' Union. In 1976 the union amalgamated with the Federated Shipwrights' & Ship Constructors' Association of Australia to become the Amalgamated Metal Workers' & Shipwrights Union. In 1983 it joined the Federated Moulders (Metals) Union of Australia to become the Amalgamated Metals Foundry and Shipwrights' Union. It reverted to the name Amalgamated Metal Workers' Union in 1985 before a round of amalgamations saw this name change again, this time to the Metals and Engineering Workers' Union (1991), the Automotive Metals & Engineering Union (1993), and finally the Automotive Food Metals & Engineering Union in 1994. See "online sources" for a pedigree chart of this entity. |
