Firemen and Deckhands' Union of New South Wales
Firemen and Deckhands' Union of New South Wales (FDU) was an Australian trade union existing between 1901 and 1993. The union covered deckhands employed on ferries, tugs, launches, lighters and hoppers, as well as enginemen, wharf hands, turnstill hands, change hands, firemen, motorboat coxmen and assistants.〔Huntley, Pat and Huntley, Ian (December, 1976). Inside Australia's Top 100 Trade Unions - Are They Wrecking Australia? Northbridge: Ian Huntley Pty Ltd. p.259. ISBN 0-9598507-1-6.〕 The FDU operated a closed shop, with all labour in the industry provided to employers through the union.〔
== Industrial Disputes ==
The first major strike action conducted by the union was the Sydney Ferry Strike of 1913, when approximately 350 workers employed by various private ferry companies in Sydney Harbour struck for 6 days as part of a campaign for the 48 Hour Week.〔(24 March 1913). "Ferry Strike". Sydney Morning Herald, Sydney, "()". accessed on 7 March 2011.〕 The union won the dispute, following the intervention of the Minister for Labour and Industry, Ambrose Campbell Carmichael and the strong support received from the ferry employees and other unions.〔(1913), "Minister Praised.", Sydney Morning Herald, Sydney, "()"〕 Prior to the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge the ferry system was a vital component of the city's travel system, and the strike caused serious transportation problems.〔(22 March 1913), "Ferry Strike.", Sydney Morning Herald, Sydney, "()"〕 The strike coincided with a number of bitter industrial disputes, and furthered conflict between the industrial and political wings of the Labor movement.〔Nairn, Bede.(). "The Harrower Collection". retrieved 8 March 2011.〕
The Firemen and Deckhands' Union became involved in a dispute between the Broken Hill Proprietary Company (BHP) and the Seamen's Union of Australia (SUA) in 1972, over the replacement of Australian-crewed ships with those manned by foreign crews on coastal iron ore routes. FDU members working on tugs in Port Kembla refused to assist the ''Iron Somersby'' in berthing in the port. The FDU, along with a number of other maritime unions, also boycotted a chartered foreign flagship, the ''Texaco Skandinavia'', which Caltex Oil attempted to employ on domestic routes. Both disputes resulted in union victories, with the ''Texaco Skandinavia'' failing to carry a single cargo.〔Fitzpatrick, Brian and Cahill, Rowan J. (1981).

The Firemen and Deckhands Union also participated in the imposition of Green Bans on the demolition of historic buildings in The Rocks area of Sydney, then slated for redevelopment into high-rise office blocks. The Rocks has a strong working-class, maritime history, which was preserved through the initiative of a number of unions, the first time such an action had been taken.〔(2001).
