Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsTrade UnionsHistoryThe ASE was established in 1890, first federally registered as a trade union in 1910 and became defunct in February 1938. An organisation with the same name was reregistered in August 1938, which existed until 1991 when it amalgamated with the Federated Ironworkers Association of Australia to form the Federation of Industrial Manufacturing & Engineering Employees. This union later amalgamated with the Australian Workers Union to form the AWU-FIME Amalgamated Union in 1993, later known simply as the AWU. This union was not related to the Amalgamated Society of Engineers which later became the Amalgamated Engineering Union (qv).
