Corporate entry: Australian Workers' Union
Summary
Records 1887-1957. The Australian Workers' Union had its origins in the Amalgamated Shearers' Union which began in Victoria in 1886 and rapidly spread through New South Wales and South Australia. Associated groups, in the General Labourers' Unions were also formed to cover shed hands. Organization of the Queensland Shearers' Union also began in 1886, and was registered as a trade union in August 1888, with its headquarters in Blackall. The Queensland Labourers' Union was formed in 1888 at Saltern Creek, with headquarters at Barcaldine. Other branches were formed at Springsure and Roma in 1891. During this period negotiations proceeded towards the amalgamation of all the Bush Unions; in December 1891 the Q.S.U. and Q.L.U. united to form the Amalgamated Union of Queensland, with administrative centres in Longreach, Hughenden and Charleville, all working in close association. Meanwhile southern unions had merged to form the A.W.U. in 1894, and the Queensland section of the Bush Unions joined with the A.W.U. in 1904. Archive holdings include Head Office, Queensland and Western Australian Branch files, there are 10 deposits comprising 66 linear feet and 88 reels of microfilm. All holdings are currently held on closed deposit. The following is a general outline of Head Office records, then a detailed listing of selective Queensland material.
