Biographical notes:

John Eyer was an organizer, international representative and training specialist based in Portland, Oregon, for the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite & Paper Mill workers, circa 1951-1964. As a training representative, beginning in 1956, he became a confidant of Research and Education head, George W. Brooks, who figured in the internal campaign for reform, and whose forced resignation precipitated the formation of the Rank and File Movement for Democratic Action (RFMDA). Eyer seems to have inherited Burt D. Wells' files on this heavily West Coast revolt. Following the establishment of the new union, the Association of Western Pulp and Papermakers in 1964, Eyer became an international representative, and chaired its Job Analysis Program. John Eyer died in 1986.
