The New South Wales Typographical Association was a trade union which existed in Australia from 1880. It represented workers in the printing industry in New South Wales. ==History== A series of meetings was held in early 1880 which led to the formation of the New South Wales Typographical Association on 15 June 1882. Originally registered under the New South Wales Trade Union Act, in 1918 it was to become the New South Wales branch of the Printing Industry Employees' Union of Australia. The organisation achieved some notoriety for boycotting ''The Dawn'' for employing non-union labor – women, who they refused to permit to join the association. On 13 August 1890, the ''Western Star and Roma Advertiser'' newspaper of Toowoomba, Queensland reported that one Miss Hill, employed by a Printer named Mr Jarrett of Clarence Street, was refused admittance to the union. On 6 May 1902, the ''Sydney Morning Herald'' reported that "the monthly board meeting of the New South Wales Typographical Association was held at the Trades Hall on Saturday night The president (Mr T W Spicer) occupied the chair. The Barrier Typographical Society was recommended to register under the Arbitration Act. In response to the re- quest of the Sydney Labour Council for assistance to the Newcastle wharf labourers the sum of £10 was voted. Messrs. George Watkins and J A Fraser were appointed delegates to the eight hour demonstration committee, and the inaugural loan of £4 was voted. Twenty-seven new members were ad- mitted. Hospital donations amounting to £10 were voted." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New South Wales Typographical Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
