The Federated Miscellaneous Workers' Union (FMWUl commonly known as the 'Missos') was an Australian trade union from 1915 to 1992.^[3] It represented an extremely diverse and disparate range of occupations, but its core support came from workers employed in cleaning and security services.^[1] The union merged with the Federated Liquor and Allied Industries Employees' Union of Australia to form United Voice in 1992.
