Historical information

Federated Clothing and Allied Trades Union of Australia was formed in 1907 from amalgamation of a number of small craft-based unions that had been in existence since the mid-1800s. Around this time, membership of these types of unions was predominantly male.

The union was amalgamated with the Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia in 1992.
