Queensland Labourers Union (1889 - 1892) |

| Function: Trade Union (State or Territory only) | |||
| Location: Queensland | |||
| The Queensland Labourers' Union [QLU] was established at Saltern Creek in 1888 as the Central Queensland Labourers' Union. In 1892 the Queensland Labourers' Union, as it was then known, amalgamated with the Queensland Shearers' Union to form the Amalgamated Workers' Union of Queensland. Operating for twelve years the three branches of the Amalgamated Workers' Union of Queensland (Longreach, Hughenden and Charleville) amalgamated with the Australian Workers' Union in 1904 and, as a consequence, became the Queensland branches of that union. |
