Trade Union entry Australian Municipal Administrative Clerical & Services Union (i) (1993 - 1994)

Summary

The Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union, trading as the Australian Services Union [ASU], was formed on July 1, 1993, following a vote by members of the Federated Clerks' Union [FCU], the Federated Municipal and Shire Council Employees' Union [MEU], and the Australian Municipal Transport Energy Water Ports Community & Information Services Union [ASU] to amalgamate.

The new ASU had the FCU as host Union and continued to use the trading name of the Australian Services Union. The ASU can trace its ultimate beginnings to the start of the twentieth century. One year after its inception, in 1994, the ASU amalgamated with the Totalisator Employees' Association of Victoria and consequently reregistered, but under the same name.
