United Papermakers and Paperworkers

Last updated

The United Papermakers and Paperworkers (UPP) was a labor union representing workers involved in manufacturing paper in the United States and Canada.

The union was established on March 6, 1957, when the International Brotherhood of Paper Makers merged with the United Paperworkers of America. Like both its predecessors, it was chartered by the AFL–CIO. [1] On formation, it had 130,000 members. [2]

In 1959, the American Wire Weavers' Protective Association merged into the UPP, but it split away again in 1964. In 1972, the union merged with the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill Workers, to form the United Paperworkers' International Union. [1]

The Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers (AWPPW) is a trade union in the western United States affiliated with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. It was established 59 years ago in September 1964, when West Coast rank-and-file members of the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill Workers became dissatisfied with the conduct of wage negotiations by international vice-presidents and those of another international union, the United Papermakers and Paperworkers, with whom a Uniform Labor Agreement had been negotiated. The dissatisfaction was a result of the international Vice Presidents announcing that they were taking over the United Labor Association bargaining session. They established a new union, the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Mill Workers. Litigation followed, a NLRB election was conducted in October 1964, and the Western organization was certified as the Uniform Labor Agreement bargaining agent. In 1994, it affiliated with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.
