Insurance Workers' International Union
The Insurance Workers' International Union (IWIU) was a labor union representing workers in the insurance industry in the United States and Canada.The union was established on May 18, 1959, when the Insurance Agents' International Union merged with the Insurance Workers of America.[2] In 1966, the union hired an organizer to study the unionization of white collar workers.[3] By 1980, its membership had fallen slightly, to 20,000.[4] On October 1, 1983, the union merged into the United Food and Commercial Workers, to promote the broader organization of clerical workers in the industry.
