Amalgamated Metal Workers’ Union Archive
This collection consists of the working files of the past organiser of the local branch, Mr Fred
Thompson, for the period 1952-1976. It gives full coverage of every major industrial
development in Queensland during this period, including the campaign of the Queensland
Branch of the Amalgamated Engineering Union for autonomy from the English union, finally
achieved in 1968, and its subsequent amalgamation with the Boilermakers' and Blacksmiths'
Society, the Sheetmetal Workers' Union and the Shipwrights' Union. The collection also
includes the minute books of Townsville branch meetings from 1894 and old minute books
from the Mackay, Ayr, Innisfail and Rockhampton branches.
This material can be read in conjunction with the Amalgamated Metal Workers’ and
Shipwrights’ Union Archive.
