Ironfounders Trade Union of Victoria (c. 1882 - c. 1899) |
||
|

| Function: Trade Union (State or Territory only) | ||
| Location: Victoria | ||
| The Ironfounders' Trade Union of Victoria was believed to have been formed in 1882. In 1899 the Union federated with several other state unions to form the Federated Iron Brass & Steel Moulders' Union of Australasia. By 1916 the Union had registered federally as the Federated Moulders' (Metals) Union of Australasia and in 1930 the name was changed slightly to the Federated Moulders’ (Metals) Union of Australia. The Union survived until it amalgamated with the Amalgamated Metal Workers' and Shipwrights' Union in 1983 to form the Amalgamated Metals Foundry & Shipwrights' Union. By 1985 the union was simply known as the Amalgamated Metal Workers’ Union which in turn changed to the Metals & Engineering Workers’ Union in 1991 after a merger with the Association of Draughting Supervisory & Technical Employees. In 1993 an amalgamation with the Vehicle Builders Employees’ Federation of Australia created the Automotive Metals & Engineering Union, but this was soon changed again when an amalgamation with the Confectionery Workers' & Food Preservers’ Union helped form the Automotive Food Metals & Engineering Union in 1994. |
