Historical Note
Originally founded in Atlanta in 1888 as a trade union for railroad machinists, today the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers represents workers in a large and diverse number of fields. Over the course of the 20th century the machinists moved from representing railroad workers to machinists and others working for airlines and the aerospace industry. The Pattern Makers' National League of North America was established in 1887, and changed its name changed to Pattern Makers' League of North America in 1898. On October 1, 1991, it merged into the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
