Library correspondence file.

The New South Wales branch of the Amalgamated Glass Bottle Makers' Trade Protective Society of Australia was established in Sydney in 1894. In 1895 the words Glass Workers were substituted for Glass Bottle Makers. At this time they were amalgamated with the Melbourne branch but by 1900 this amalgamation had broken up and they were then called the Glass Workers' Union of N.S.W. In 1909, all the State associations formed the Amalgamated Glass Bottle Makers' Union of Australia and this was registered in 1909. The name was changed to the Australian Glass Workers' Union in 1918. In 1920 the Federated Glass Founders' Association of Australia and the Press and Flint Glass Workers' Union of N.S.W. joined the A.G.W.U.
