A WORD TO THE NEW MEN IN THE NATIONAL UNION OF MARINE COOKS & STEWARDS - 1946 NUMCS - C.I.O. - Publication No. 5 - Pamphlet To New Members.

"UNITY WITH ALL MARITIME UNIONS

How do we achieve these things? We no longer have to face the problem of obtaining wages and conditions and eliminating discrimination alone. At the National Convention of Maritime Unions in San Francisco, May 6-11, 1946, delegates from seven of the most important waterfront unions agreed on united action against the shipowners' attempts to cut wages, manning scales and conditions. The convention drew up a program for joint strike action between the National Union of Marine Cooks and Stewards, the National Maritime Union, the International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union, the Marine Firemen, the Marine Engineers, the American Communications Association and the Inland Boatman's Union. The program includes conduct of joint negotiations with the shipowners wherever possible, the formation of a national organization composed of the seven unions and the soliciting of support from the World Federation of Trade Unions, which would make any maritime strike by the seven unions effective throughout the world. The Committee of the seven unions which operates between conventions is the Committee for Maritime Unity (CMU) which won wage raises and conditions for all unions involved without strike action, June, 1946.

International Longshoremen's & Warehousemen's Union - C.I.O. Local Union list

This is a working list that is continually being expanded and cross referenced as I work through archival material. You will notice I pose questions next to some of the locals or include various notes. If you use this list as a reference please know it may not be 100% accurate. This is a continuation of my project to map the Congress of Industrial Organizations. You will notice several different charters with the same local number. The International reused local numbers as they amalgamated or ceased to exist. Making this research a tad bit more difficult. ILWU Local 1 - RAYMOND, WA (longshore) *** chartered ’37 ILWU Local 2 - SAN FRANCISCO, CA (shipscalers) *** chartered ’37 ILWU Local 3 - STOCKTON, CA, (Barge / Power Boat) *** chartered ’37 in 1950 Local 3 becomes catch all for the International Fisherman & Allied Workers after they are expelled from the CIO. Below is a list of locals that became Local 3 in 1950. I believe these numbers correspond w...

United Packinghouse Workers of America Local 9 - C.I.O. 1940 Agreement with George A. Hormel & Co. - Austin, Minnesota

"We, the United Packinghouse Workers, realize that the struggle to better our working and living conditions is in vain unless we are united to protect ourselves collectively against the organized forces of the employer. We, therefore, form an organization which unites all workers in our industry on an industrial basis with rank and file control regardless of craft, age, sex, nationality, race, color, creed or political beliefs consistent with democratic processes, and we pledge ourselves to pursue at all times a relentless and aggressive struggle to advance our interests. We recognize that our industry is composed of workers of all nationalities, of many races, of different creeds and political opinions. In the past, these differences have been used to divide us and one group has been set against another by those who would prevent our unifying. We have organized by overcoming these divisive influences and by recognizing that our movement must be big enough to encompass a...
