Food Preservers' Union Of Australia Federal Council

Description

Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsTrade UnionsHistoryAlthough a union of jam, sauce and pickle works employees had been formed c.1898, the union did not become a significant influence in the industry until its reorganisation under Percy Clarey, a leading Victorian Unionist, after 1922. A Union of fluctuating membership, reflecting the importance of seasonal labour in the canning industry, the Food Preservers Union is one of relatively few unions to maintain a strong organisation in Australia's irrigation areas. In 1991-92 the Union amalgamated with the Federated Confectioners Union as the Food Preservers Division of the new Confectionery Workers' & Food Preservers Union of Australia. In 1994 the CW&FPU amalgamated with the Automotive, Metals and Engineering Union to form the Automotive, Food, Metals and Engineering Union. From 1995 it has been known as the Food and Confectionery Division of the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union.Search records of this agent
