One Hundred Years of Typographical Union Leadership
A long historical record outlines the International Typographical Union from its 1850 formation in Cincinnati through 1950s milestones. It notes key congresses, policy shifts, expansion of membership to women, legal battles for copyright and eight hour days, pension funds, and the union’s stance on strikes and democratic reforms. The narrative emphasizes enduring principles and global connections with Canadian unions and the AFL.
