New tonnage is scheduled to continue entering the SIU-con- tracted fleet for the foreseeable future, which will more than offset the losses we face due to the latest news from Horizon Lines. Nothing both- ers me more than when we lose jobs, as is the case with Horizon. But, this is nothing our union hasn’t faced and overcome before. As the com- pany sells some of its ships and takes others out of service, we’ll continue working to maintain SIU President Michael Sacco intro- and add jobs elsewhere in the fleet. duces Steve Cotton at the awards This year’s AOTOS honorees are (from left) Fred Harris, Joe Cox In the wake of the mid-term elections, we ceremony. and Steve Cotton.

We’re ac- tive at the state and local levels, too, because that’s what it takes to keep Old Glory flying on the high seas, along the coasts and on our Mariners and Industry Leaders rivers.

MARITIME UNlONS & U.S. SHIPPING POLICY by JON LUCAS SUBMITTED IN PARTlAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF MARINE AFFAIRS UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 1979 ii ABSTRACT This paper explores the role played by U.S. maritime unions in influencing the formation of American shipping policy. The thesis of the paper is that maritime unions have exerted great influence on le­ gislators, through lobbying efforts to foster special-interest legis­ lation which benefits union members at the expense of the taxpayer. The research is based on standard works on shipping and maritime labor relations, Hearings of the House and Senate Merchant Marine Com­ mittees, and newspaper and magazine articles which trace the progress of various pieces of maritime legislation. Only the activities of the seagoing unions are discussed, and the paper does not deal with similar activities by longshoremen's unions and other labor organizations in­ directly associated with the maritime industry.
