"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. 1In 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; Put with social issues in ephemera. Pictured 4/13/24 .
