Historical Note
The International Fur and Leather Workers Union of the United States and Canada was a labor union that represented workers in the fur and leather trades. It was founded in 1913 by the delegates of eight American Federation of Labor unions representing workers in all branches of the fur trade.
In 1940, the International Fur Workers Union merged with the National Leather Workers' Association to form the Fur and Leather Workers Union. The union dissolved in 1955 when it merged with the Amalgamated Butchers and Meat Cutters of North America.
