TIn 1979, the fishermen in the New Bedford region voted to disaffiliate from the SIU. They were part of the New Bedford Fishermen's Union, an affiliate of the Seafarers International Union of North America. It was an autonomous organization with its own constitution and contract. The SIU had little contact with the New Bed ford Fishermen's Union's officials. So when they decided to leave after get ting a lot of "pie in the sky" promises from the Teamsters Local 59, there was no way to prevent them from walking. For the past six years , the fishermen of New Bedford have been under con tract with Local 59 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). And during those six years, there has been · a serious decline in the New Bedford SIU Ne rd Port Agent Joe Piva (right) administers the Seafarers oath to new book members (I. to r. ) Frank Joia, SIU organizing rep; Michael� �fo Perron; Magan, SIU organizing rep, and Robert Miller. fishing industry.
