Operative Bootmakers Union of South Australia (1882? - )

Related EntriesArchival/Heritage Sources
Function: Trade Union (State or Territory only)
Location: South Australia
The Operative Bootmakers' Union of South Australia was formed in 1882, and subsequently participated in the conference to establish a federal body, becoming the South Australian Branch of the Australian Boot Trade Employees' Federation at its formation in 1903. This branch registered federally in 1906 as the Australian Boot Trade Employees' Federation, Adelaide Branch. By 1908, the federal branch registered under the Commonwealth's Conciliation and Arbitration Act.

Although the Adelaide Branch was deregistered in 1950, the federal branch continued to operate until 1987 when it amalgamated with the Australian Textile Workers’ Union to become the Amalgamated Footwear and Textile Workers’ Union of Australia, and in 1992, a further amalgamation with the Federated Clothing and Allied Trades Union created the Textile Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia.
