Lithographers' and Photoengravers' International Union

The Lithographers' and Photoengravers' International Union (LPIU) was a labor union representing printing workers in the United States and Canada.

The union was founded on September 7, 1964, when the Amalgamated Lithographers of America merged with the International Photo-Engravers Union of North America. Like the Photo-Engravers, it was chartered by the AFL–CIO.[1] On September 4, 1972, the union merged with the International Brotherhood of Bookbinders, to form the Graphic Arts International Union.[2]

On formation, the union had 50,000 members. Throughout its existence, the union was led by president Kenneth J. Brown.[3]
