Canada ILGWU label dating

I found this dress which looks to me like a late 1950s/early 1960s sheath dress, I would guess more into early 60s. It has a Canadian ILGWU label, which I previously thought started in 1968 based on the label resource; but this dress looks earlier in style than 1968 (to me). It has a centre back metal zipper and falls to mid-calf length. The thing is, the ILGWU label is a different style than the Canadian ones in the label resource. Might this be an earlier label? If so, does anyone know when it might date from? Would there be interest in me taking a better photo of it for the label resource? Any thoughts on the dress date?

Thanks, as always.

Ah, you're thinking it's earlier than I'm thinking. Could be. I guess I will take a better pic of the Union label and upload it to the label thread in case there's interest.
 
Oh geez, how embarrassing! Thank you, I never saw that one. I assumed the two further up in that post were the only ones there were. Just a suggestion, it might be easier to find if they were all placed together? But thanks so much for pointing that out, I'll know from now on.
