Amalgamated Workers Union of Queensland (1892 - 1904) |
|||
|

| Function: Trade Union (State or Territory only) | |||
| Location: Queensland | |||
| The Amalgamated Workers' Union of Queensland was formed through the merging of the powerful Queensland Shearers' Union and the Queensland Workers' Union in April 1892. The three branches of the Amalgamated Workers' Union of Queensland, at Longreach, Hughenden and Charleville, amalgamated with the Australian Workers' Union [AWU] in 1904 and became the Queensland branches of that Union. By 1908, however, the Hughenden Branch had closed down, leaving just the two other unions to represent Queensland in the AWU. |
