Federated Miscellaneous Workers' Union of Australia
The Federated Miscellaneous Workers' Union (FMWUl commonly known as the 'Missos') was an Australian trade union from 1915 to 1992. It represented an extremely diverse and disparate range of occupations, but its core support came from workers employed in cleaning and security services. The union merged with the Federated Liquor and Allied Industries Employees' Union of Australia to form United Voice in 1992.
