AFL-CIO labor union representing mill and timber workers.
The Woodworkers of America was established in 1940 as a CIO union in Everett, Washington. From 1940 Local 101 represented workers in the Everett Weyerhaeuser mills and Eclipse Lumber Company. Unions which merged with Local 101 were other members active in the Snohomish Industrial Union Council, local coordinating arm of the CIO. Local 18 of Cannery Workers' branch of Internatinal Fishermen and Allied Workers of America, was also a member of the SIUC. Other local unions that merged with it included branches from Anacortes, Bellingham, Sedro Woolley, and Sultan, Washington. When Districts 2 and 3 of the union merged in 1953, the Everett local's disignation changed from 2-101 to 23-101; in 1959 it became Local 3-101.
