Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers : ウィキペディア英語版 | Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers
The Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers (AWPPW) was established in September, 1964, when West Coast rank-and-file members of the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill Workers became dissatisfied with the conduct of wage negotiations by international vice-presidents and those of another international union, the United Papermakers and Paperworkers, with whom a Uniform Labor Agreement had been negotiated. The dissatisfaction was a result of the international Vice Presidents announcing that they were taking over the United Labor Association bargaining session. They established a new union, the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Mill Workers, in 1964. Litigation followed, a NLRB election was conducted in October 1964, and the Western organization was certified as the Uniform Labor Agreement bargaining agent. == Culture and symbolism ==
The AWPPW places a premium on democracy and independence. This is not surprising, given the conditions under which it was founded. For instance, its newsletter, in publication since 1964 is called ''The Rebel''. Its seal is a gavel surrounded by the slogan "Guard Well the Democratic Rights of Your Members." The seal and slogan were created by Bill and Lucille Riggs, inspired by Bill's study of ''Robert's Rules of Order''. Bill "saw the chairman's gavel as a tangible symbol of a member's rights." 〔"Bill, Lucille Riggs Gave AWPPW Its Seal, Slogan." (September 23, 1974). The Rebel, Special Edition AWPPW Tenth Anniversary, p.17.〕
