January 26, 1897 - The Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America was born when it received a charter from the American Federation of Labor to organize "every wage earner from the man who takes the bullock at the house until it goes into the hands of the consumer." The Meat Cutters merged with the Retail Clerks International Union in 1979 to form the United Food and Commercial Workers.
