Fremantle Lumpers Union (1889 - 1919) |
|
|
|
| Function: Trade Union (State or Territory only) | |
| Location: Western Australia | |
| The Fremantle Lumpers' Union was the first known union of unskilled labour in Western Australia. It was formed after a recruiting mission to the west by the Adelaide Lumpers' Union in 1889 and was inspired, perhaps, by the solidarity shown in the Great Dock Strike workers in Britain of that year. |
