Waterside Workers Federation of Australia

Great photographs found as part of an office load of Waterside Workers’ Federation (WWF) files thrown away. An interesting coincidence was one of our workers finding documents written by her own father while sorting through the find.

Resource Work Cooperative donated some fabulous ledgers dating back to 1905, some worker’s handbooks, and a handful more photos to the Maritime Museum of Tasmania.

Some interesting info on the WWF here. The WWF amalgamated with the Seamens’ Union of Australia in 1993 to become the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA).
