History
United Fishworkers and Allied Workers' Union had its beginnings when a number of fishermen's organizations joined together to form the United Fishermen's Federal Union (UFFU). In 1945 the UFFU joined with the Fish Cannery, Reduction Plant and Allied Workers' Union and the first Convention of the new United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union was held.
