History

The union was founded in August 1902, as a split from the International Typographical Union, and was immediately chartered by the American Federation of Labor. By 1926, it had 7,000 members. [1] The union later affiliated to the AFL–CIO, and by 1957, its membership had risen to 13,577. [2]

In 1971, the union renamed itself as the International Stereotypers', Electrotypers' and Platemakers' Union. [3] On 1 October 1973, it merged with the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union of North America, to form the International Printing and Graphic Communications Union. [4]
