Washington, D . C., June SO, 1950.The Secretary of Labor:

I have the honor to transmit herewith the Bureau’s 1950 Directory of Labor Unions in the United States, which was prepared in response to the many requests for up-to-date information about labor organizations. This Directory is a revision of Bulletin No. 937, issued June 1948. It lists all known national and international unions, and State labor bodies, and gives general information about the unions and the structure and activities of the American labor movement.

The Directory was prepared in the Bureau’s Division of Industrial Relations by Theodore W. Reedy and William Paschell under the supervision of Nelson M. Bortz.

Directory of Labor Unions in the UnitedStates

The 1950 DirectoryThis issue of the Directory of Labor Unions in the United States is

based primarily on information obtained by questionnaires sent to national and international unions in the autumn of 1949.1 Wherever possible, it has been corrected to include changes which have occurred through early 1950. Data on membership and the number of locals generally relate to the first 6 months of 1949.

In all, 209 unions are listed, including 107 affiliates of the American Federation of Labor, 33 affiliates of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, and 69, usually called independents, unaffiliated with either of the 2 major labor federations.2

Among the independent unions are the four train and engine service (“ operating” ) railroad brotherhoods. Other unaffiliated unions include those which at one time or another have been identified with the AFL or CIO. Noteworthy examples are the United Mine Workers of America and the International Association of Machinists.

The 107 member unions of the AFL, oldest and largest federation, founded in 1881, range in size from under 100 to approximately 1,000,000 members. The CIO, founded in 1938, has 33 international unions presently affiliated and generally is similar in structure to the AFL. Several other groups of unions have banded together to form loose federations. Perhaps the largest of these is the Confederated Unions of America, which describes itself as a national federation of independent unions. According to claims made in the testimony of representatives of the CUA before a congressional committee in May 1949, it had 70 affiliated unions and “ over 100,000” members.

The Railway Labor Executives’ Association is a voluntary association of the chief executive officers of 21 AFL, CIO, and independent organizations which represent most of the organized railway workers

1 A copy of the questionnaire sent to the national and international unions is reproduced in the appendix to the Directory.

2 It was not possible to include all independent unions in the Directory. Names and locations of these unions are not always available and, in addition, some unions did not reply to the questionnaire, or provided insufficient information. For purposes of the Directory, independent or unaffiliated unions were included where information existed that the union had at least two locals and held collective bargaining agreements with at least two employers. Exceptions were made in several instances where it was shown that, despite the absence of local branches, the union had negotiated at least 10 agreements with different employers and reported 1,000 or more members. Unions expelled from the CIO and which are currently unaffiliated are included in the group of “ independents.”

in the United States and Canada. While not a federation in the sense of those groups listed above, it functions as a coordinating and policy-directing body in legislative and other fields of mutual concern to organized railroad workers.

Both the AFL and the CIO maintain State and city organizations which the locals of their affiliated unions within an area are expected to join. These State and local groups assist in organizing campaigns, consider problems of mutual interest, and are actively interested in legislation favorable to workers. At the beginning of 1950, the AFL had 50 State federations of labor, including Alaska and Puerto Rico, and 811 city central bodies. The CIO reported 41 State industrial union councils, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and 245 city and county councils. A listing of the State AFL and CIO groups, together with their officers, begins on page 52.

Membership and Size

Unions vary in their definition of membership. Some include as “ members” only employed workers whose dues are not in arrears for more than a specified period. Other unions include members who are retired or inactive, temporarily unemployed, or in the armed services. In some instances apprentices are included. Some unions measure their size in terms of all workers covered by their collective bargaining agreements, irrespective of how many workers actually pay dues to the union. Membership is frequently reported on a “ per capita” basis, i. e., the actual number of members on whom dues are remitted for a given period, either by a local to its parent union or by the parent union to an affiliated body such as the AFL or the CIO.

In a strict sense, the membership data of the separate unions are not comparable, particularly between major federations, and an estimated total obtained by adding the data for the separate unions cannot be regarded as an exact measurement of the total union strength in the United States.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics addressed a special questionnaire to all unions, requesting information on membership based on the average number of dues-paying members in the first 6 months of 1949 (see copy of questionnaire, p. 67). Many unions (170) provided membership information on this basis, and this information appears in this Directory. For several other unions, membership data were obtained from publications or reported per capita payments to a parent federation. In no case, however, are the membership data to be construed as verified Government statistics.

An estimate based on membership information supplied to the Bureau of Labor Statistics by many unions and on other available


3

sources would place the total trade-union membership in the United States in 1949 as between 14 and 16 million.3

Thirty-five of the two hundred and seven unions for which some membership information was available had more than 100,000 members each. Of the remaining 172, almost one-half fell within the 10,000 to 100,000 member range, and one-quarter had less than 5,000 members (table 1). Six unions claimed over 500,000 members each. This distribution closely resembles that shown in the June 1948 Directory. A larger group, however, is included in the “ under 1,000” classification, because information for several small unions was included for the first time.

Approximately 20 percent of the 204 national and international unions which furnished information on the number of locals had more than 500 locals each (table 2). Almost 50 percent had fewer than 100 locals. In all, it is estimated that more than 70,000 local unions are affiliated with these 204 unions.

2 Includes the following unions expelled by the CIO executive board: the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, effective Feb. 15, 1950; the Food, Tobacco, Agricultural and Allied Workers Union of America, the United Office and Professional Workers of America, and the United Public Workers of America, effective Mar. 1, 1950; the American Communications Association and the International Fur and Leather Workers’ Union of U . S. and Canada, effective June 15,1950. Also includes the International Fishermen and Allied Workers of America which merged with the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union on M ay 25,1950.

3 M any unions whose headquarters are in the United States also have locals outside the continental United States, primarily in Canada. Complete break-downs of membership, by countries, are not, however, available, and the data cited throughout the Directory include a unions total membership irrespective of where located. The Thirty-eighth Annual Report on Labour Organizations in Canada, published by the Canadian Department of Labour and covering the calendar year 1948, reported 675,044 Canadian workers as members of international unions whose principal offices are in the United States.

Frequency of Union Conventions and Publications

The highest policy-making body of a union is usually a convention of delegates representing the members. In all, 191 national and international unions have conventions scheduled at stated intervals. Fifty-seven hold conventions every year, and 72 every 2 years. Eighteen meet every 3 years, 28 every 4 years, and 13 every 5 years. One union meets semiannually; 2 others, every 18 months. Four additional unions determine their convention dates through a referen-

dum vote of their membership. Seven unions, mostly small, have no constitutional provision for holding conventions. No information is available for 7 others.

Aftotal*of 170 national or international unions of the 209 listed in the Directory have official publications, of which 119 are issued monthly, 9 weekly, and 17 biweekly or semimonthly. Fourteen unions have bimonthly and 9 have quarterly publications. Two unions issue their publication at irregular intervals. Of the 39 unions with no

publication, 13 have less than 1,000 members, and 16 from 1,000 to 10,000. The 10,000 to 50,000 group have 8 unions with no publication. Only 2 unions with more than 50,000 members lack official publications.

Research and Education Directors

Eighty of the listed unions reported employees specifically engaged as research directors, and 48 reported that they employed education directors. Forty-five unions had both research and education directors, but in 27 instances these 2 positions were held by the same individual. In some instances the president or secretary-treasurer also acts as research or education director but is not listed as such in the Directory.

Major Affiliation Changes Since June 1948

Since publication of the last Directory of Labor Unions in June 1948, the American Federation of Labor chartered two new unions: the Flight Engineers’ International Association in December 1948 and the Railway Patrolmen’s International Union in July 1949.

During the same period the Congress of Industrial Organizations chartered four unions. The Communications Workers of America, formerly independent, was granted a CIO charter in June 1949. Concurrently with this action, the Telephone Workers Organizing Committee (TWOC) was merged with the new CIO affiliate. The Optical and Instrument Workers of America, previously an organizing committee, and the American Radio Association, composed primarily of ship communications officers, were also chartered. The fourth charter was issued to the International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, after expulsion of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America by action of the 1949 CIO convention. The United Farm Equipment and Metal Workers of America, which had been ordered by the CIO executive board to merge with the United Automobile Workers-CIO, chose, instead, to merge with the United Electrical Workers and was also expelled. Trials by members of the executive board were also scheduled against a group of 10 other left-wing unions and their officers.4

Nine of the unions listed in the present Directory have made changes in their official titles since issuance of the last Directory.

4 The unions scheduled for trial and the decisions of the CIO executive board in each case were: United Furniture Workers of America, chatges withdrawn June 15, 1950; International Union of Mine, M ill and Smelter Workers, expelled Feb. 15,1950; Food, Tobacco, Agricultural and Allied Workers Union of America United Office and Professional Workers of America, and United Public Workers of America, expelled effec tive Mar. 1, 1950; American Communications Association and International Fur and Leather Workers’ Union of U . S. and Canada, expelled June 15, 1950; International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’ s Union, National Union of Marine Cooks and Stewards, International Fishermen and Allied Workers Union of America, tried and decisions pending.

American Federation of Labor was adopted in 1886. In that year, the Federation had 13 national and international unions with a total membership of approximately 150,000. Today the AFL has 5 major departments, 107 national and international unions, and 50 State and Territorial branches. For the year ending August 31, 1949, the average membership of the AFL, based on per capita tax payments received from affiliated unions, was 7,241,290. Ninety-two AFL unions provided membership figures on the Bureau of Labor Statistics questionnaire used in the preparation of this Directory. The combined membership of these 92 unions, as reported to the Bureau, is more than 1 million larger than the average membership on which these unions paid per capita tax to the AFL as of the year ending August 31, 1949. From these reports it appears that the total membership of all unions affiliated with the AFL is over 8,000,000.

Conventions:Held annually on the third Monday in September. The 1950

convention is scheduled for September 18, in Houston, Tex.

The Committee for Industrial Organization (CIO) was formed in November 1935 to organize unions in certain mass production industries on an industrial basis, irrespective of skills. The original committee was composed of 8 AFL unions. Differences between the AFL and its CIO-affiliated unions resulted in the latter’s suspension and ultimate expulsion from the AFL. In 1938, the CIO adopted a constitution and its present name, the Congress of Industrial Organizations. As of early 1950, the CIO had 33 national and international unions, and 41 State industrial union councils.

National and International UnionsAll national and international unions known to the Bureau of Labor

Statistics are included, as well as a number of smaller labor organizations not strictly “ national” in scope but whose structure and bargaining activities indicated that the union had at least two local branches and agreements with more than one employer. In several instances unions were listed, irrespective of their structure, if information indicated that they had negotiated 10 or more agreements with employers and had a membership of 1,000 of more. Each organization is listed alphabetically by the key word or words identifying the craft or industry within which the union operates and all information concerning the union, including its affiliation with either the AFL or the CIO, o,r its status as an “ independent” or unaffiliated union, will be found under this listing. For the convenience of those who are accustomed to referring to a union by its full official title (e. g., International Union, United Automobile, Aircraft and Agricultural Implement Workers of America) a “ finding list” appears in the back of the Directory.

In the preparation of this year’s Directory each previously listed union was asked to bring its information up to date. All unions, including those not heretofore listed in the Directory, were provided with a brief questionnaire for convenience in reporting the requested data and most of them supplied the information necessary for an adequate listing in the Directory. In some instances it was necessary to supplement the reply by reference to official union sources such as convention proceedings, officers’ reports, or journals. As regards membership data, each union was requested to indicate its average dues-paying membership for the first half of 1949. The membership figure for each union is, therefore, that submitted directly to the

, Bureau of Labor Statistics except when noted in the following manner:*Data appearing on the union’s journal or reports.**Per capita average annual membership as published in the con

vention proceedings of the American Federation of Labor.*(16)
