Federated Carters And Drivers' Industrial Union, Western District Sub- Branch

Description

Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsTrade UnionsHistoryThe Federated Carters and Drivers' Industrial Union was registered under the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Act in 1906. By 1947 the carters and drivers industry had become virtually obsolete and the union was forced to deregister. Most of its members however, who remained in the general transport industry, went on to join the Transport Workers' Union of Australia. The Western District Sub-Branch, sometimes referred to as the Terang Branch, was established in 1918, with the assistance of the Victorian Branch, to organise locally and progress regional concerns.
