The American Flint Glass Workers' Union (AFGWU) was a labor union representing workers involved in making glassware and related goods in the United States and Canada.
By 1925, the union had 6,900 members and was based in Toledo, Ohio.[2] From 1955, it was affiliated to the new AFL–CIO, growing to 35,000 members by 1957,[4] this figure falling slightly to 33,375 in 1980.[5] By 2003, membership was down to 12,000, and on July 1, the union merged into the United Steelworkers.[1][6]
