OF LABOR ORGANIZATIONS IN MASSACHUSETTS, 1?63 With Statistics of Membership 1961-62-63 INTRODUCTION The material here presented constitutes the Fifty-Eighth Directory of Labor Organizations in Massachusetts. The first Directory of this kind was published in August, 1902. The term "Labor Organizations" as used in this Directory is a group of employees or wage earners organized for the purpose of improving their status through negotiations with employers, except in the cases of employees of governmental agencies, the organization is usually a party to either a written or verbal agreement concerning wages and conditions of employ- ment. Since the last Directory was issued many new unions have been organized, others have become inactive or disbanded. The Department has quite complete records of unions in existence by reason of "statements" required by Chapter 618, Acts of 19U6 (Revised by Chapter 39k, Acts of 19U9). This edition consists of four divisions, as follows: I. " National and International Organizations" having one or more affil- iated local unions in the United States , (pages 3-13 )• II. " Delegate Organizations" consisting of organizations composed of delegates from local unions whose members are in trades or industries of a like character within a definite district, or of delegates from local unions in the same locality, not necessarily in similar trades, (pages 1U-2U). III. " Local Labor Unions" composed of wage earners in a single locality directly associated in what may be termed the "unit body" of organization, (pages 25-157). IV. " Statistics of Labor Organizations" showing number and membership of local unions as of January 15, 1963, with data for two prior years, (pages 158- 160). All National, International, Delegate and Local Organizations listed in this Directory are AFL-CIO affiliates except where noted otherwise. At the beginning of each year a general canvass is made for the data which appear in this Directory. Each National and International Labor Organization known to be in existence in the United States (See Section I) is requested to furnish the Department with the name and address of its corresponding official and a list of any Massachusetts locals affiliated, together with the names and addresses of certain officials of such unions. From the Delegate Organizations in Massachusetts (See Section II) somewhat similar data are secured. Each Local unit known to be in existence, whether or not chartered by a parent body, is canvassed and detailed information is secured as to the time and place of meeting, the names and addresses of corresponding and other officials, and other relevant data (See Section III). These same unions also report the membership of their organizations (See Section IV). 1 The names of the individual Local Unions appear in Section III, listed for ready reference alphabetically under the respective municipalities in which their headquarters are located. Nearly all of the local unions are affiliated with national or international bodies. Designations of local unions follow closely the names of parent bodies as given in Section I. The following facts are given for each Local and Delegate Union: Name and charter number (and brief identifying description where available); time and place of regularly held meetings; name and address of secretary, business agent or other authorized representative; business office and telephone number, if any. Officials of those organizations from whom no report was received in re- sponse to the original request were visited by the statistical investigators of the Division and the necessary data were secured. There were also ascertained, from various sources, facts with reference to the forming of new unions and the disbanding of those formerly active. At the time of going to press there were incorporated in this issue such changes as had come to the attention of the Department since the original canvass was made. Officials of organizations listed herein are urged to advise the Department of any such changes as they occur. The Department makes every effort to issue the Directory as early in the year as possible, as much of its usefulness depends upon the promptness of its issue. In this endeavor we have had the cordial cooperation of labor officials throughout the state. ABBREVIATIONS Abbreviations for titles of union officials follow: B. A., Business Agent Leg.
