Workers United
Industrial and service union, representing workers in manufacturing, distribution, laundries, hotels, casinos and more. The premier union when it comes to organizing. Workers United has its roots in the old Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union (ACTWU). In 1996, it merged with the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) to form UNITE. In 2004, it again merged with the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Union (HERE) to form UNITE HERE. In 2009, due to irreconcilable differences, it disaffiliated from the merger to form Workers United, and is now an autonomous affiliate of SEIU.
