International Union of Journeymen and Allied Trades
[2][3][4] In 1955, the union transferred to the new AFL-CIO, surviving for many years with a small membership – as of 1980, it had 400 members.[5] By 1988, it was the second-smallest union affiliated to the AFL-CIO, and offered little support for members other than a $3,000 death benefit.[6] In 2002, with membership down to just 81, mostly working at racetracks, the union became part of the United Steelworkers (USW).[7][8] In 2003, the union became the IUJAT, and attracted affiliations from several larger, independent unions The federation approved the name change, but decided that the previous adherence to the USW meant its charter had gone out of existence.The newly independent IUJAT retained its new members, and by 2021 had around 80,000 members, mostly organized in the United Service Workers' Union, National Organization of Industrial Trade Unions, United Public Service Employees' Union, and Home Healthcare Workers of America.
