Curator's note | The International Typographical Union (ITU) was one of the earliest labour unions in the USA, founded in May 1852 as the National Typographical Union and one of the earliest influential industrial unions established in Saskatchewan. The ITU membership consisted not just of typographers but of workers from many other trades connected to the printing industry. The ITU seemed to enjoy more economic and political influence than its relatively limited membership might seem to warrant, perhaps because its membership was more educated and economically mobile than most blue collar workers. |
