Dates of existence
History
In 1909, all the state associations for glass bottle makers formed the Amalgamated Glass Bottle Makers' Union of Australia and it was registered federally the same year. The name was changed to the Australian Glass Workers' Union in 1918. In 1920 the Federated Glass Founders' Association of Australia and the Press and Flint Glass Workers' Union of New South Wales joined the AGWU. In September 1992 the Australian Glass Workers' Union was amalgamated into the Federation of Industrial Manufacturing & Engineering Employees. This union underwent further amalgamations until 1993 when it amalgamated with the Australian Workers Union to form the AWU-FIME Amalgamated Union in 1993, later known simply as the AWU.

The New South Wales Branch of the Australian Glass Workers Union was established in Sydney in 1894 as the Amalgamated Glass Bottle Makers' Trade Protective Society of Australia. In 1895 the words Glass Workers were substituted for Glass Bottle Makers. At this time the association was amalgamated with the Melbourne branch. By 1900 the amalgamation had broken up and they were then called the Glass Workers Union of New South Wales.
