The union was established on May 1, 1988, when the Glass, Pottery, Plastics and Allied Workers' International Union merged with the International Molders and Allied Workers' Union. [3] [4] The Coopers' International Union of North America followed in 1992. [3] [5]
With the Coopers merger, the GMPIU had about 80,000 members in the United States and Canada in about 435 locals. [3] As of 1993, the GMP had 35 staff working at its headquarters. [3]
Job losses continued. As of 2009, the union had just 30,392 members. [6] The Great Recession cut heavily into its membership, and by the end of 2012 it had just under 28,000 members. [1] In 2016, the union agreed to merge into the United Steelworkers. [7] The merger was completed on January 1, 2018, and the union became the GMP Council of the Steelworkers. [8]
