Summary

The Union was registered federally in 1911 as the Federated Pastrycooks Biscuit Makers Ornamenters & Flour & Sugar Goods Union of Australia, this union operated for six years before changing name in 1917 to the Federated Pastrycooks Employees' Biscuitmakers Employees' & Flour & Sugar Goods Workers' Union of Australia.
