Australasian Transport Officers Federation - Victorian Branch

Description

Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsTrade UnionsHistoryFormed in 1921 by salaried officers employed by state railway departments as a reaction to the industrial turmoil after 1917, the A.T.O.F. has encountered a long resistance to its activities from older established trade unions. Originally known as the Victorian Railways Administrative Officers and Clerks Association and in 1924 the union became the Federation of Salaried Officers of Railways Commissioners. In 1947 the union was registered as the Australasian Transport Officers Federation and in 1978 the Australian Transport Officers Federation. In 1991 ATOF amalgamated with the Municipal Officers' Association and the Technical Services Guild to form the Australian Services Union. The ATOF Airlines Division was formed in late 1980 and soon began producing the newsletter, ATOF Airlines.
