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