Talk:International Printing and Graphic Communications Union

Membership
The article currently reads: "On formation, the union had 105,000 members, but this figure steadily fell, and by 1981, membership was down to 93,000." This statement is sourced to Workers, Managers, and Technological Change (2013), edited by Daniel B. Cornfield, presumably referring to the chapter "The Eclipse of Craft: The Changing Face of Labor in the Newspaper Industry", by Arne L. Kalleberg et al. Kalleberg et al. in turn cite the 1982–83 edition of the Directory of U.S. Labor Organizations.

I do not have access to that directory, but I wonder if these figures are just referring to the union's membership in the US. Larry T. Adams (1984) suggests that the union had 112,000 members at the time of their merger in 1983. Would you have a better idea, ? Graham (talk) 02:55, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
