Once one of the country’s most powerful unions, it was adversely affected by the decline in the garment industry in the years following World War II and by the 1980’s was expanding its membership beyond the garment industry. In 1986 under the leadership of it then President Jay Mazur, it founded the Professional and Clerical Employees division.
