Amalgamated Society of Engineers (Australia)

Amalgamated Society of Engineers (Australia)

The Amalgamated Society of Engineers was an Australian trade union established in 1905. In 1921, the Society was renamed the Amalgamated Engineering Union, Australian Section. The Society was most famous for its involvement in the landmark High Court of Australia case, Amalgamated Society of Engineers v Adelaide Steamship Co. Ltd., which overturned the doctrine of implied intergovernmental immunities, significantly altering the balance of power in Australian federalism. The Society was deregistered in February 1938, but later that year, the Amalgamated Engineering Union was formed to take its place.
