Paperworkers' Union

The Paperworkers' Union (Finnish: Paperiliitto) is a trade union representing workers in the paper industry, in Finland.The union was established in 1906, on the initiative of the Tampere Paper Industry Workers' Union.Initially a successful organisation, it split in 1930 between supporters of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and a communist-led group.The communist group was soon banned, so the SDP's Finnish Paper Industry Workers' Union viewed itself as the successor of the earlier union.By 1998, it had 49,618 members, but by 2019, this had fallen to 34,021, of whom only 14,000 were actively employed in the industry.
