International Fishermen and Allied Workers of America

The International Fishermen and Allied Workers of America (IFAWA) was a labor union representing workers in the fishing industry in the United States.

The union originated as the Federated Fishermen's Council, founded in 1936 by members of the International Seamen's Union, which was collapsing.

In 1939, this was refounded as the IUFAW, and was chartered by the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO).

The union was led by president Joe Jurich, vice president George Hecker, and secretary-treasurer Martin Olsen.

Shortly after, it merged into the Food, Tobacco, Agricultural, and Allied Workers.
