P rice 40 cents Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Preface Facts about the structure, size, composition, and leadership of the trade union movement in the United States serve a wide variety of needs, both at home and abroad. Such facts also help to shape perspective on the labor movement as an institutional force in the Nation’s history and economy. To fulfill these purposes, the U. S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics periodically compiles a Directory of National and International Unions in the United States based on information voluntarily submitted by the unions in response to a questionnaire. The last Directory (BLS Bull. 1185) was issued late in 1955, just prior to the formation of the AFL-CIO. Subsequently, in M ay 1956, a supplement describing the structure of the new federation was prepared. The present Directory accounts for developments since the merger. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that listings in this Directory are not intended to, nor can they, in fact, confer status or recognition to any organization. The basic requirement for inclusion in the Directory listing of national and international unions was affiliation with the AFL-CIO or, for unaffiliated unions, the existence of collective bargaining agreements with different employers in more than one State (except for national unions of government employees). Every effort was made to include all unions that met this standard. The Directory was prepared in the Bureau’s Division of Wages and Indus­ trial Relations by Harry P. Cohany, assisted by Henry S. Rosenbloom, under the direction of Joseph W . Bloch. Special Corrective Note— At the AFL-CIO convention December 5-12, 1957, while this Directory was in press, three unions were expelled for failing to eliminate corrupt practices. The three unions and their total 1956 membership should be taken into account when using total AFL-CIO membership figures and the total number of AFL-CIO unions mentioned in the body of the Directory. These unions, with their 1956 membership were: Bakery and Confectionery Workers’ International Union of America (1956 membership— 160,000); Laundry, Cleaning and Dye House Workers International Union (1956 membership— 90,000); and Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America, International Brotherhood of (1956 membership— 1,368,082). The expulsions resulted in the removal of John F. English (Teamsters) and Herman Winter (Bakers) from the Executive Council. They were replaced by Peter T. Schoemann, President, United Association of Journey­ men and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry; and Paul L. Phillips, President, United Papermakers and Paperworkers i n Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Contents P a ge Introduction-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Developments since 1955 directory_______________________________________________ 1 Ethical practices____________________________________________________________ 1 State and local mergers______________________________________________________ 3 Other union developments----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Structure of the labor movement_________________________________________________ 4 Structure of the AFL-CIO---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Railway Labor Executives’ Association______________________________________ 7 Other federations____________________________________________________________ 7 Unaffiliated or independent unions___________________________________________ 7 Union membership_______________________________________________________________ 7 Total membership----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 Membership outside continental United States______________________________ 9 Membership trends and changes-------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 Size of unions_______________________________________________________________ 11 Women members____________________________________________________________ 11 White-collar members_______________________________________________________ 12 Industrial distribution of membership------------------------------------------------------------ 12 Reporting practices--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 Union functions_________________________________________________________________ 14 Number of locals---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14 Number of collective bargaining agreements____________________________________ 14 Coverage of agreements_____________________________________________________ 15 Union conventions__________________________________________________________ 16 Union professional staff______________________________________________________ 16 Union publications_____________________________________________________________ 17 Union headquarters locations__________________________________________________ 17 American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations__________ 18 Railway Labor Executives’ Association___________________________________________ 27 Other federations------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28 National and international unions________________________________________________ 29 State labor organizations_________________________________________________________ 47 Tables: 1.

  • Gordon David, New York City, Representing the Committee For
    1192 ECONOMIC SECURITY ACT where the deceased had his home at the time of his death. Only the Federal Government can effectively distribute the burden, because only it can effectively reach incomes and inheritances and make them available for the people of all States. We must remember that the bill here considered does not depend for its con­ stitutionality on any consideration of the “interstate commerce power”, upon , the argument that the regulation of intrastate business is necessary because of its effect on interstate business. In this respect, this bill rests on a far sounder con­ stitutional basis than do the N. R. A. and the A. A. A. Those acts stand or fall, depending upon the extent to which the interstate commerce power can be prop­ erly exercised. But this bill is merely an exercise of the appropriating power. It rests upon the same constitutional basis as do the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act and Home Owners’ Loan Corporation Act, which involve merely an exercise of the power of Congress to spend Federal moneys. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act, the Home Owners’ Loan Cor­ poration Act, and, indeed, the bulk of the national emergency legislation which has been enacted during the Hoover and Rooseveit administrations, involve an understanding of the national character of our problems. Furthermore, they indicate an appreciation of the inadequacy and the cumbersomeness of the Federal subsidy system. These acts all provide for direct aid to persons, firms, and cor­ porations in the States. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation supplies Federal moneys direct to bankers throughout country. The Home Owners’ Loan Corporation supplies Federal moneys direct to mort­ gagees throughout the country.

  • 2016 Annual Report Office of Labor-Management Standards U.S
    2016 Annual Report Office of Labor-Management Standards U.S. Department of Labor U.S. Department of Labor AndrewAndrew DD.. AAuerbach,uerbach, Deputy Director Introduction When the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) was enacted in 1959, Congress declared, “it is essential that labor organizations, employers and their officials adhere to the highest standards of responsibility and ethical conduct in administering the affairs of their organizations, particularly as they affect labor-management relations.” The LMRDA primarily promotes union democracy and financial integrity in private sector labor unions through standards for union officer elections and union trusteeships and safeguards for union assets. Additionally, the LMRDA promotes transparency through reporting and disclosure requirements for labor unions and their officials, employers, labor relations consultants, and surety companies. The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) continues today to pursue this important mission through criminal and civil enforcement of the LMRDA. The major provisions of the LMRDA, by title, are: • Title I: Bill of Rights for union members • Title II: Requirements for reporting and disclosure by labor unions, union officers and employees, employers, labor relations consultants and surety companies • Title III: Rules for establishing and maintaining trusteeships • Title IV: Standards for conducting fair elections of union officers • Title V: Safeguards for protecting union funds and assets OLMS also administers provisions of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA) and the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (FSA), which extend comparable protections to federal labor unions. In addition, OLMS’ Division of Statutory Programs administers the Department’s responsibilities under the Federal Transit Act by ensuring that fair and equitable arrangements protecting mass transit employees are in place before the release of federal transit grant funds.

Today’s attempted coup has been years in the making as Donald Trump consistently spews venom, conspiracies, hate and lies to his supporters. They are carrying out his wishes, and far too many Republican lawmakers have enabled and even encouraged this violent threat to our republic. Emboldened by an Electoral College system that creates an avenue for insurrection instead of simply certifying the candidate with the most votes, this is an effort to violate the constitutional rights of every law-abiding American and the labor movement will not stand for it.
