Historical Note

The international union that would become the International Iron Molders and Foundry Workers Union began as the International Molders and Allied Workers Union (IMU) in 1860. A national union had been formed in 1859 but transformed into the IMU in 1860. The IMU help cofound the American Federation of Labor (AFL) in 1886.

The organization changed its name to the International Molders and Foundry Workers Union of North America in 1934 to reflect a more industrial rather than a craft organizing model. The union became the International Molders and Allied Workers Union in 1961. lMU membership reached a peak of 70,000 after World War II. The Tacoma local of the union, which dates from 1889, merged into the International Association of Machinists.
