The building has served as the headquarters for the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific (SUP) since it was first constructed in 1950. The SUP is the oldest maritime union in the United States, having originated in San Francisco in 1885. SUP had a major impact on the shipping industry and helped to secure the rights of merchants and sailors all along the West Coast.

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.
