The History of FAIR

The Federation of Agents and International Representatives was created in 1973 by a courageous group of International Representatives of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.

Their desire to improve their employment conditions and provide employment stability joined them together to create what was originally called the International Representatives Association.

As they traveled throughout the country, they encountered local union staff who wanted the benefits of a staff union. For decades now, hundreds of Union Representatives, Organizers, and Office Staff in dozens of Union Locals have been organizing all across the country with FAIR.
