The GMP has become one of the most progressive Unions, by welcoming new technology (especially the Internet) and broadening it's membership base of not only glass workers but also workers in the pottery, fiber glass, plastics, foundries and many others industries.

The GMP has membership in thirty-three states in the US as well as members in Canada. The members of the GMP have remained hand craftsmen, even with the advent of automation.

The GMP Union is a fraternity of workers, a brotherhood dedicated to helping one another. In the plant, the Union members stand together for the common good.

The Local Unions of the GMP are led by elected shop stewards, local union officers, and committee members who work closely with the GMP International to protect the interests of all GMP members and their families.

Today the GMP has over 70,000 members and is growing. Every GMP member is protected by a Union contract which safeguards job security, assures overtime pay, holidays, vacations, and other important benefits.

The GMP International Union belongs to its members. It was founded more than 100 years ago to serve the working members of the GMP International Union. In order for the GMP Union to serve its members and their families, it needs the full support of its members.

With the rich history, tradition and dedicated service that the members of the Glass, Molder, Pottery Union have grown to expect and enjoy, our future will only get better.

The GMP Union is strong because "Our Strength Is In Our Members".
