International Stereotypers' and Electrotypers' Union

The International Stereotypers' and Electrotypers' Union (ISEU) was a labor union representing workers in two related trades in the United States and Canada.

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]
