Summary

The Printing Industry Employees' Union of Australia registered federally in 1917, although printing industry unions had a long nineteenth century lineage. Indeed the Victorian Branch of the Printing Industry Employees' Union only came into existence in 1920 after the successive amalgamations of several Victorian printing unions, each eager to protect their own rich histories, even at this stage of the early twentieth century. In 1966 the Printing Industry Employees' Union of Australia changed its name to the Printing & Kindred Industries Union. In 1986 the Printing & Kindred Industries Union amalgamated with the Federated Photo Engravers, and in 1992 with the Victorian Printers Operatives' Union and although it was impelled to reregister each time, it remained in name the Printing & Kindred Industries Union [PKIU]. In 1995 the PKIU amalgamated with the Automotive Food Metals and Engineering Union to form the Automotive Food Metals Engineering Printing & Kindred Industries Union, otherwise known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union [AMWU].
