According to GCC's Department of Labor records since 2006, when membership classifications were first reported, the "active" membership of the union has fallen from 60% to 45%. The other—now 55%—half of the union's membership are classified as "honorary", and are described as retirees who pay no dues and are ineligible to vote in the union. GCC contracts also cover some non-members, known as agency fee payers, which since 2006 have numbered comparatively less than a percent of the size of the union's membership, or about 100 non-members paying agency fees.[2]
History edit
The conference was created after the Graphic Communications International Union (GCIU) voted to join forces with Teamsters in late 2004.
The Graphic Communications Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 767M, is the successor union of several merged printers' locals spanning back into the late 1800s. The local unions have been affiliated with different international unions over time.
