Шаблон:Infobox union The Granite Cutters' International Association of America was a trade union representing granite cutters in the United States and Canada.

History

The union was founded in March 1877 near Rockland, Maine, USA.[1] Its official publication was the Granite Cutters’ Journal. It was among the founding organizations of the American Federation of Labor.

It was founded as the Granite Cutters' National Union and later Granite Cutters' International Union of the United States and the British Provinces of America before taking its final name in 1905. Jobs for skilled granite cutters dwindled in the 1960s and the union eventually merged into the Tile, Marble, Terrazzo, Finishers', Shopworkers' and Granite Cutters' International Union.[2]

Leaders

The leader of the union was initially the secretary; from 1905 the secretary-treasurer; and from 1912, the president.[3]
