Federated Liquor And Allied Industries Employees' Union Of Australia Victorian Branch

Description

Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsTrade UnionsHistoryThe union known as the Liquor Trades Union dates from 17 February 1904 when the Brewery and Maltsters Employees Association the Aerated Waters and Cordial Makers Society joined to form the Amalgamated Liquor Trade Employees Union in Victoria. In 1910 the Victorian Liquor Trades Union met with other interstate brewery unions to form a federated union. Between then and now the Liquor Trades Union has expanded its membership into allied industries and now covers hotel workers (bar men and women joined after 1908), restaurants, clubs, caterers, boarding houses, yeast and vinegar factories and canteens. It has a checkered history of involvement with women in related industries. In 1992 it amalgamated with the Miscellaneous Workers'Union to form the Australian Liquor Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers' Union.
