Tinsmiths & Sheet Iron Workers Trade Society (1881 - 1902) |
||
|

| Function: Trade Union (State or Territory only) | ||
| Location: New South Wales | ||
| Formed on 20 December 1881 at Kelly's Hotel in Sydney, the Tinsmiths & Sheet Iron Workers' Trade Society operated until 1902 when it changed names to the New South Wales Amalgamated Tinsmiths Sheet Iron Workers & Meter Makers Trade Society. In 1910 the Union again changed its name to the New South Wales Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers' Society. Although a federal union was formed in November the following year, in 1911, but the New South Wales Sheet Metal Workers did not join it. The Federal Union was the Amalgamated Tinsmiths Sheet Metal Workers Cannister Makers Gas Meter Makers & Assistants Union and was made up of members in Victoria and Queensland. In 1916 the Union became known as the New South Wales Amalgamated Tinsmiths' & Sheet Metal Workers' Society. By 1919 this Union eventually joined the federal body and became the New South Wales Branch of the Sheet Metal Working Industrial Union of Australia. In 1945 this Union and the Federated Agricultural Implement & Stovemakers Porcelain Enamellers & Ironworkers Association amalgamated to form the Sheet Metal Working Agricultural Implement & Stovemaking Industrial Union of Australia. This Union together with the Amalgamated Engineering Union and the Boilermakers' & Blacksmiths' formed the Amalgamated Metal Workers' Union in 1972. |
