Administrative History
The trade union was organized in 1887 as Journeymen Barbers’ International Union of America to serve the interests of barbers who became members of the organization. The union periodically held conventions, extending their occurence to every 5 years at the 11th convention in Louisville, Kentucky in 1904, in order to increase the sick and death benefits provided to members and their families. The 12th convention was held in Milwaulkee, Wisconsin in 1909 and the 13th in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1914. Women were not permitted to join the union until 1924, when the decision to admit female professionals was made at the union's 15th convention in Indianapolis. The union's name changed to Journeymen Barbers, Hairdressers, and Cosmetologists’ International Union of America in 1941. It later became the Journeymen Barbers, Hairdressers, Cosmetologists, and Proprietors’ International Union of America.
