Description

Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsTrade UnionsHistoryWhile the industry can trace its origins back to the coach- building workshops established in the 1850s, it was not until the late 1890s that a union was established. Initially known as the Coach-Makers Society, it was registered in 1917 as the Australian Coach Motor Car Waggon Builders and Wheelwrights and Rolling Stock Makers Employees' Federation. In 1938 the union became known as the Vehicle Builders' Employees' Federation until 1993 when it amalgamated with the Metals and Engineering Workers' Union to form the Automotive, Metals and Engineering Workers' Union. From 1994 it was known as the Automotive Metals and Engineering Union, and from 1995 the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union Vehicle Division
