Biographical 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.
