National Union of Rail Workers
The National Union of Railwaymen of Australia was first registered under the Commonwealth's industrial relations legislation in March 1933. However, it was to last only until July 1933 before it was deregistered. Many members of this original union were eventually covered by a second union of the same name, which registered in 1938. The Union continued under this name until 1982 when it changed to the National Union of Rail Workers of Australia.
