History.
The IUANPW was established in the 1940's. The union was originally named the International Union of Dolls, Toys, Playthings, Novelties and Allied Products of the United States and Canada. The name was changed to the International Union of Allied, Novelty and Production Workers in the late 1970's as toy manufacturing was largely shipped overseas.
