n.d.

Oscar Justus was born in Waterloo, Ontario, June 18, 1888. He joined the International Union of United Brewery Workmen of America, Local 170 in Berlin, Ontario on May 26th, 1914. The union was founded in 1886 as the National Union of United Brewery Workmen. The members of the Union were almost entirely Germans, and publications dated from 1886-1903 were in German. In 1889, along with a growing number of labour unions, it was one of the first industrial unions established with a union logo in the United States. In 1903, the union changed its name to the International Union of United Brewery Workmen of America. In 1917, the union changed its name to the International Union of United Brewery and Soft Drink Workers of America. Three years later it changed its name yet again, this time to the International Union of United Brewery, Flour, Cereal and Soft Drink Workers of America.
