Aluminum Workers of America

The Aluminum Workers of America (AWA) was a labor union representing workers in the aluminum industry in the United States.

The union was established on April 14, 1937 as a split from the Aluminum Workers' Council, under the leadership of president N. A. Zonarich. It affiliated to the Congress of Industrial Organizations.[1][2] By 1944, it had grown to have 46,000 members. In June that year, it merged into the United Steelworkers of America.[3]
