Biographical history

The Federated Confectioners' Association of Australia was registered with the Australian Industrial Relations Commission in 1925. The NSW Branch of the Federated Confectioners’ Association of Australia was represented by the New South Wales Journeymen Confectioners’ Union. In 1945 the membership expanded to include members of the Female Confectioners' Union (1916). It changed its name to the Confectionery Workers’ Union of Australia in 1986 and in 1992 merged with the Food Preservers Union of Australia to form the Confectionery Workers and Food Preservers Union of Australia.
