Summary
The Victorian Operative Bricklayers' Society was established in 1856 and was an early party to eight-hours agreements. The skills and mobility of bricklayers have contributed to the independence of this small union. Indeed, the Victorian Operative Bricklayers' Society remained unregistered until 1969. In 1988 it joined the two Victorian plaster industry unions to form the Victorian State Building Trades Union which reregistered under the same name in 1991.
