Summary
The Sydney Foremen Stevedores' Association was formed in 1914 and registered under the New South Wales Trades Union Act of 1881 and the Industrial Arbitration Act of 1912 on 9 July 1915. The Union was registered federally under the Conciliation & Arbitration Act of 1904 on 22 September 1939.
The Union changed just two years to the Australian Foremen Stevedores' Association, which continued to operate until 1991 when it was amalgamated into the Waterside Workers' Federation of Australia. By 1993, the Waterside Workers' Federation had merged with the Seamens' union of Australia to form the Maritime Union of Australia.
