Federated Liquor and Allied Industries Employees' Union of Australia (FLAIEU) was an Australian trade union which existed between 1910 and 1992. It represented workers employed in hospitality, catering, breweries and alcohol retailing. Formation The union was formed when the Victorian Liquor Trades Union merged with other state-based unions representing brewery workers in 1910. The union grew rapidly, incorporating workers from kindred industries, and in 1968 merged with the Hotel Club Restaurant and Caterers' Employees' Union of New South Wales. The New South Wales branch was the largest state branch of the union (with 68 percent of the union's membership in 1976).

Federated Miscellaneous Workers' Union Of Australia
The Federated Miscellaneous Workers' Union (F.M.W.U.), commonly known as the 'Missos', was an Australian trade union which existed between 1915 and 1992. It represented an extremely diverse and disparate range of occupations, but its core support came from workers employed in cleaning and security services. Formation The union was first established on 6 May 1910 as the Watchmen, Caretakers and Cleaners Union of New South Wales (W.C.C.U.), which was created by the Organising Committee of the New South Wales Labor Council. The task of organisation was a difficult one due to the casualised and isolated nature of the occupations covered. Under the leadership of the first Secretary of the WCCU, Joe Coote, the union adopted a pragmatic approach to increasing union membership by including any workers not already represented by trade unions, such as paintmaking employees. To reflect the growing range of industries represented in 1915 the union changed its name to the Federated Misce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
