This union was formed in Brisbane in 1915 and was registered in the Industrial Court of Queensland in 1917. By 1944 there were branches in NSW and Victoria and the AAEDSA was able to gain federal registration.

ADSTE amalgamated with the Amalgamated Metal Workers' Union to form the Metals and Engineering Workers' Union in 1990. Further amalgamations of this Union resulted in various name changes including the Automotive Food Metals & Engineering Union, and the Automotive Metals & Engineering Union. From 1995 it was officially called the Automotive Food Metals Engineering Printing & Kindred Industries Union, but more generally referred to as the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union (AMWU), Technical and Supervisory and Administrative Division.Search records of this agent
