Description
Photo of International Woodworkers of America (IWA) members at the final membership meeting of Local 1-217.
Notes
In the 68 years since the IWA began organizing sawmills, the face of the membership had changed remarkably as South Asian Canadians became a significant part of the union. The final membership meeting of Local 1-217 before becoming part of the United Steelworkers in 2005 demonstrates the importance of South Asians to the union. IWA Local 1-217 files.
