The Graphic Communications International Union (GCIU) was a
labor union
representing printing workers in the United States and Canada.
The union was founded on May 25, 1983, when the
AFL–CIO.[1] On formation, it had 154,000 members.[2] This figure fell rapidly, along with employment in the industry, and by 2004, the union had only 60,000 members.[3]
On January 1, 2005, the union's American and Quebecois members[citation needed] merged into the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, becoming its Graphic Communications Conference.[1] The rest of the Canadian members of the union became part of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada.
