The International Paper strike was a strike in 1987 by paper mill workers at a number of plants in the United States owned by the International Paper (IP) company. The strike extended into 1988 and the company hired permanent replacements for workers. The plant in Maine, known as the Androscoggin plant, attracted national attention during this period. Ultimately the strike ended. In 2006 International Paper sold this plant to Verso Holdings, LLC.
