The Wool and Basil Workers' Federation of Australia was an Australian trade union which existed between 1890 and 1976.〔Rawson, D. W. (1973). "''A Handbook of Australian Trade Unions and Employees' Associations – Second Edition''". Canberra: The Australian National University. ISBN 0-7081-0634-X〕 It represented workers employed in scouring and carbonising wool, fellmongery, and the processing of sheep hides into basil. == History == The union was first established in 1890, before achieving federal registration in 1912 as the Amalgamated Fellmongers, Woolsorters and Woolscourers' Union of Australia.〔〔 In 1918 the union changed its name to its final form.〔Smith, Bruce A. created 20 April 2001, last modified 6 August 2010.

Retrieved 27 October 2011.〕 John Dacey, a Sydney coachmaker and Member for Botany, where the fellmongering industry was concentrated, helped to organise the Wool and Basil Workers' Union in Sydney. The South Australian trade union leader and later politician Theo Nicholls served as part-time secretary of the union in South Australia, and was active in its organisation. The Wool and Basil Workers Union was involved in a demarcation dispute with the Australian Textile Workers' Union in 1913 over work done at Botany woollen mills. The dispute was settled following arbitration by the Labour Council.〔 〕 The Wool and Basil Workers' Union merged with the Australian Workers' Union in 1976.〔 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「Wool and Basil Workers' Federation of Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
