Building Workers' Industrial Union (Additions)
These are additional records of the Queensland Branch of the Building Workers' Industrial Union of Australia (archived at location 409-414L), which traced its parentage back to the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners. By 1911, the union had registered federally and became known as the Australian District of Amalgamated Society of Carpenters & Joiners (ASC&J). Towards the end of the Second World War the ASC&J became the Building Workers' Industrial Union of Australia (BWIU). The BWIU was deregistered in 1948 but was formed again in 1962 and these records reflect renewed activity from the early 1960s. In 1991 the BWIU amalgamated with timber unions to eventually form the Construction Forestry Mining Employees Union in 1992 as its Building Workers' Industrial Union Division.
