Federated Millers and Manufacturing Grocers Union was an Australian trade union. It represented workers in food processing and manufacturing industries.
Formation
[edit]The Federated Millers and Manufacturing Grocers Union was formed through the amalgamation of two pre-existing unions, the Federated Millers and Mill Employees' Association of Australasia and the Manufacturing Grocers' Employees' Federation of Australia.[1] Both unions represented relatively small memberships, and amalgamated as part of a period of union rationalisation encouraged by the ACTU.
Amalgamation
[edit]The new union did not last long as a separate entity, and in 1992 it amalgamated with the recently formed National Union of Workers.[1] The new union was formed from several pre-existing organisations, the largest and most influential being the Federated Storemen and Packers Union.
