One Union: A History of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, 1887-2003

From its early struggles to unify in the 1880s to its organizing and political triumphs of the 1990s, the IUPAT has sought to bring a better life for its members and a better world for all working men and women. This history tells the tales of those triumphs and struggles and in looking back traces the promise of the future for today’s IUPAT members and generations of members to follow. One Union: The History of the IUPAT should be required reading for all IUPAT members and for anyone who wants to understand how the American labor movement has survived to arrive and thrive in the 21st century.
