The Federated Rubber and Allied Workers' Union of Australia was an Australian trade union which existed between 1909 and 1988.[1] The union represented workers employed in manufacturing rubber, plastic, electrical cable, adhesive and abrasive products in Australia.[1]

History

The Federated Rubber and Allied Workers' Union was formed in 1909 and achieved registration in 1911 as the Rubber Workers' Union of Australia. By 1922 the union had a national membership of 2,000.[2] The union's name was changed in 1933 to the Federated Rubber and Allied Workers' Union of Australia.[3] Membership rose during the following decades, reaching 5150, of which 2,750 were employed in New South Wales and 2,400 in Victoria.[2] Female workers made up 36% of the union's membership in 1946, an unusually high proportion for an Australian union at the time.[2]

The union's membership was principally in the footwear and automotive industries, and membership decreased as these industries restructured in the late 20th century.[1] The Federated Rubber and Allied Workers' Union amalgamated with the Federated Storemen and Packers Union in 1988 to form the National Union of Storeworkers, Packers, Rubber and Allied Workers.[3] This body then merged with several other small unions in 1991 to form the National Union of Workers, which continues to provide representation for workers employed in the rubber industry.[4]
