Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsTrade UnionsHistoryThe Blacksmiths' Society of Australasia was Federally registered in 1919 but had been in existence since 1912. In 1954, the union became known as the Blacksmith;s Society of Australia until it was deregistered in 1965. After this deregistration many of the members of the Blacksmiths' Society were unofficially absorbed into the Boilermakers' Society of Australia. Such were their numbers however, that the Boilermakers' Society changed its name that same year to the Boilermakers' & Blacksmiths' Society of Australia. After a series of further amalgamations the Boilermakers and Blacksmiths' Society of Australia was incorporated into the AMWU.
