THE INTERNATIONAL PRINTING PRESSMEN AND ASSISTANTS' UNION OF NORTH AMERICA

A Group of Five Pamphlets Published By the Pressmen Regarding Unions (the Advantages of Unions) Including: Can Fifteen Million Workers Be Wrong, Suppose You Had to Go It Alone, Welcome Mr. New Member, the Worker and His Standard of Living, and, You Are the Union

Pressmen's Home, TN: International Printing Pressmen, 0. Stapled wraps. This group consists of five small format booklets with cardstock covers and stapled spines, all of them in Very Good+ to Near Fine condition. The booklets were issued without dust jackets. Each of the booklets is in clean, bright condition. There is some very beginning bumping and rubbing to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. "The union was founded on 8 October 1889, as the International Printing Pressmen's Union of North America, a split from the International Typographical Union (ITU). By 1894, it had grown sufficiently that the ITU agreed to give the new union jurisdiction over pressroom workers, and to transfer its remaining members in the field. On 3 November 1895, the union was chartered by the American Federation of Labor. The union began accepting press feeders into membership, and in 1897, it adopted its final name. [1]In 1911, the union constructed its headquarters at Pressmen's Home, Tennessee, the site selected to also house a union-owned sanatorium and trade school. The trade school taught letterpress, but mostly focused on retraining workers in offset printing. " (from Wikipedia). Very Good+ .
