Deposit N412 - Federated Brick, Tile and Pottery Industrial Union New South Wales deposit

The Federated Brick, Tile and Pottery Industrial Union of Australia was formed in 1911 and operated until its amalgamation in 1995 into the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union.

The Brickmakers', Brickmakers Labourers' and Pipemakers' Union of New South Wales was registered in New South Wales in 1886. Then in 1911 the Federated Brick, Tile and Pottery Workers' Union was registered under the Commonwealth legislation and the Brickmakers' Union of New South Wales was registered in New South Wales. Rules of the Brickmakers, Clayworkers and Brickcarters Employees' Union of New South Wales were published in 1912. The exact relationship between these entities requires further research but it seems clear that a distinct New South Wales union still existed up to the late 1920s, overlapping with the federated union.
