Abstract

Documents show that most of the many thousands of Greek people who migrated to Australia after the Second World War were unskilled workers. They obtained employment in Australia as labourers and industrial workers. It was not long, however, before a number of Greek migrants realised that they had to join trade unions as organisers in order to work towards the  improvement of employment conditions and employment services. not only for the Greek migrants but for all migrant workers.
