The S ecretary of Labor : I have the honor to transmit herewith the Bureau’s 1953 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 in this country. This Directory is a revision and expansion of Bulletin No. 980, issued June 1950. It gives general information about the structure and activities of the American labor movement and lists and gives details about all known national and international unions and State labor bodies. The Directory was prepared in the Bureau’s Division of Wages and Indus trial Relations by William Paschell under the supervision of Kirk R. Petshek. E w an C lague , Commissioner. Hon. M artin P.

Information assembled from the responses by unions and included in the Directory relates to the number of members and local union affiliates of the organizations listed; the number of women who are union members; and information on union conventions and publications. The head quarters addresses and principal officers of national and international unions are also listed. Wherever possible, changes, other than member ship and number of locals, which occurred early in 1953 are reflected in the Directory. Of the 215 unions listed, 109 are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, 33 with the Congress of Industrial Organizations, and 73 are unaffiliated with either of the 2 major federations.2 About seven out of every eight union members are members of unions affiliated with either the AFL or the CIO. Founded in 1881, the AFL is the oldest and largest federation. The Committee for Industrial Organization (CIO) was formed by a group of AFL unions in 1935 and held its first convention as the Congress of Industrial Organi zations in 1938, when it adopted its present name and constitution.3 At least two general federa tions of independent unions, the Confederated Unions of America and the National Independent Union Council, are known to exist. The Alliance (of) Independent Telephone Unions apparently functions as a federation in a single industry. Independent unions appearing in the Directory are estimated to have between 2 and 2y2 million members. Some of these unions such as the four “operating” railroad brotherhoods, all organized before 1900, have never been affiliated with either of the major federations. Other unaffiliated un ions (more than one of every four listed) have at some time been identified with either the AFL or CIO. A notable example is the United Mine Workers of America. The expulsion of 11 unions from the CIO during 1949-50 augmented the num ber of unaffiliated unions.4* The Railway Labor Executives’ Association, formed in 1926, is a voluntary association of the chief executive officers of labor organizations hav ing all or part of their membership in the railroad industry. Although not a federation of unions similar to the groups already mentioned, ELEA functions to coordinate and direct policy in legis lative and other fields of mutual interest to organ ized railroad workers. Late in 1952, 19 labor organizations, including 17 AFL, 1 CIO, and 1 independent, were represented in ELEA. With the exception of a few unions representing a rela tively small number of operating employees, these unions represent the bulk of union members en gaged in nonoperating railroad employment. At State and city levels, the AFL and CIO each maintain organizations in which participation by the locals of their affiliated unions is encouraged. In 1952, the AFL had 50 State federations of labor, including Alaska and Puerto Eico, and 821 city central bodies. The CIO reported 40 State indus trial Union councils, including the District of Co lumbia, and 247 city and county councils. A listing of the AFL and CIO State organizations, together with their officers, begins bn page 32. 1 A copy of the questionnaire which was used is reproduced on page 42. 2 Independent or unaffiiiated unions were included where inform ation existed that the union had at least two locals and was a party to collective-bargaining agreem ents w ith more than one employer. In the absence of local branches, exceptions were made if the union had negotiated at least 10 collective bargaining agreements w ith different employers. The inclusion of all such independent unions in this Directory was not pos sible because names and locations of unions were not always available, and some unions did not reply to the questionnaire or provided insufficient inform ation to establish whether or not they fall within the above definition. 3 See Brief H istory of the American Labor Movement, B ulle tin No. 1000, U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1950. 238038 — 53 Interrelationship of Union Levels There are essentially three levels of trade-union structure, in part autonomous and yet partially very dependent upon each other: the local, the 4 See footnote 9 on page 5. l education, publishing union journals, deciding jurisdictional problems, legislative efforts, and community activity. It is only possible to indicate in a general way some of the activities undertaken at each of the three levels (see chart). international, and the federation. At the base of this trade-union structure are the individual union members who receive various services from their local, international, and federation organizations. These services include organizing, collective bar gaining, administration of contracts, research and Size and Composition of Membership vided by many of the unions. The Bureau’s ques tionnaire called for the average annual duesquest for information on total membership for paying membership for 1951 (see copy of each union, similar to that used in preparing two questionnaire, page 42). This information was previous Directories.5 Additional information on furnished by 170 unions. A lesser number of the number of women members and on groups of unions (150) provided either complete or partial workers who were included or excluded from information on whether they included or excluded membership figures was requested for the first five specified categories from their membership time. Many unions supplied this information data,6 namely: (1) unemployed; (2) involved in which provided a basis for a more comprehensive work stoppages; (3) in the Armed Forces; (4) appraisal of union membership.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS ♦ The listings of services are by no means exhaustive nor neces sarily confined to the levels shown. Many of the individual item s could be expanded, e. g., research and education could include compilation of economic d a ta ; preparation of m anuals containing contract d a ta ; preparation for presentation of union view s to governmental b od ies; etc. An example of services that may overlap is in collective bargaining where negotiations on an industry- or company-wide basis may be led largely by interna tional union negotiators w ith certain issues left for local bargaining. Factors such as degree of union centralization, size, revenues, and industry problems affect the stress which unions place on various services. 3 exceeded this upper limit. Whereas the 1950 Di rectory (p. 48) had only one union with 1 million or more members, this Directory lists three such unions. The distribution for all unions follows closely that shown in the previous Directory; most of the frequency classes show movement up or down of less than 1 percent compared with 1950. It is estimated that upwards of 75,000 locals are affiliated with national or international unions listed in the Directory. Seventy unions, or about one-third of the total, had fewer than 50 locals each (table 3). An additional 99 unions had more than 50 but fewer than 500 locals. Fortythree unions had 500 or more locals each. (Infor mation on the number of locals in the remaining three unions is insufficient for grouping within a specified range.)

Per centages are based on 16.75 million members, the mid-point of the range of 16^ to 17 million estimated to be union members. 3 Includes some unions prohibited by law from striking, e. g., unions which organize Federal employees. 4 Includes some unions which do not have jurisdiction over any apprenticeable trades. One hundred forty-six unions reported on the “approximate percentage of membership who are women.” 8 Using these reports and other available information, it is estimated that close to 3 million women are members of labor unions. On the basis of union reports and estimates made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, most unions (125) had either no women members or less than 10 percent T able 2 .— Number of national and interna tional unions, by affiliation and size of mem bership, January 19521 Total unions Number of members Total________________________ Under 1,000_____ _________ 1,000 and under 5,000__________ 5,000 and under 10,000_________ 10,000 and under 25,000________ 25,000 and under 50,000________ 50,000 and under 100,000_____ 100,000 and under 200,000____ 200,000 and under 300,000______ 300,000 and under 400,000______ 400,000 and under 500,000_____ 500,000 and under 1,000,000___ 1,000,000 and under 1,200,000___ Affiliation Num ber Per cent AFL 215 23 31 23 31 32 36 17 7 7 1 4 3 100.0 10.7 14.4 10.7 14.4 14.9 16.8 7.9 3.3 3.3 .5 1.7 1.4 109 10 11 6 19 20 18 12 5 3 1 3 1 T able 3.— Number of national and international Inde CIO pendent 33 1 4 4 5 10 3 4 2 unions, by affiliation and number of locals, January 19521 73 13 19 13 87 8 2 2 Number of locals Total________________________ Under 103____________________ 10 and under 25 _ _ _ _ _ 25 and under 5 0 - _ __________ 50 and under 100______________ 100 and under 200_____________ 200 and under 300___ _ 300 and under 400_____________ 400 and under 500____ ___ 500 and under 600_____________ 600 and under 700____ _ . _ _ 700 and under 800_____________ 800 and under 900___ _ _ _ 900 and under 1,000__________ 1,000 and under 1,500-.________ 1,500 and under 2,000 2,000 and over_____________ __ 1 1 Includes at least 2 unions known by the Bureau to have been organized late in 1952.

The AFL International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths, Drop Forgers and Helpers amal gamated with the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders and Helpers of America, and the AFL United Leather Workers International Union merged with the Amalga mated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America; the International Spinners Union was suspended by the AFL. In the CIO, the federation expelled three addi tional unions in 1950 on charges that they were Communist-dominated, thereby completing action begun late in 1949.9 The three unions were the International Longshoremen’s and Warehouse men’s Union, the International Fishermen and Allied Workers of America, and the National Union of Marine Cooks and Stewards. Charters were granted by the CIO to the formerly inde pendent National Association of Broadcast Engi neers and Technicians, and to two newly organized unions—the United Department Store Workers of America and the United Railroad Workers of America. Nine unions are listed in this Directory under official titles which differ from those shown in the last Directory. These changes are:9 The AFL added five national or international unions to its roster after publication of the last Directory of Labor Unions in 1950. Two AFL unions listed in that Directory amalgamated with other unions; one was suspended. Early in 1951, the International Association of Machinists reaffiliated with the AFL after a 5-year absence; the American Federation of Hosiery Workers and the International Metal Engravers and Marking Device Workers Union, also formerly unaffiliated unions, received AFL charters. Two newly or ganized AFL unions are the Insurance Agents 9 All 11 unions expelled and the dates of their expulsion w e r e : United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America, Novem ber 2, 1949; United Farm Equipment & M etal Workers of Amer ica, November 2, 1949 (now part of the United E lectrical Work ers, I n d ) ; International Union of Mine, M ill & Smelter Workers, February 15, 1950; United Office & Professional W orkers o f America, February 15, 1950, effective March 1, 1950 (now part of the Distributive, Processing & Office Workers of America, I n d ) ; United Public Workers of America, February 15, 1950, effective March 1, 1950; Food, Tobacco, Agricultural & Allied W orkers Union of America, February 15, 1950, effective March 1, 1950 (now part of the D istributive, Processing & Office Workers o f America, I n d ) ; American Communications Association, June 15, 1950 ; International Fur & Leather Workers’ Union of U.

Twenty-eight unions, each of which reported or is estimated to have 50 percent or more women members, account for slightly less than a com bined total of 1.3 million. A number of large unions (17), where the percentages were less than 50 percent of total membership, had 25,000 or more women members each for a combined total of more than 1.2 million. Accordingly, 45 unions together accounted for nearly 2.5 million women members. Among unions having large numbers of women workers are those having their princi pal jurisdiction in the apparel trades, service trades, communications work, textile mills, and electrical goods manufacturing.

Union Conventions and Publications publications appear weekly and 11 quarterly; 1 appears semiannually; and 5 are published ir regularly. Of the 41 unions with no publication, only 6 have more than 25,000 members; the re mainder are primarily unions with fewer than 5,000 members. T able 5 —Intervals at which 209 national and international unions hold conventions 1 Union conventions are generally held at speci fied intervals (table 5) primarily to hear reports of stewardship from officers, to determine policy, and to elect officers. One hundred thirty-two unions hold conventions at intervals of 2 years or less. Fifty-nine unions meet at 3-year or longer intervals. Seven unions hold membership refer endum votes to determine whether conventions are to be held. No provision for holding conventions applies to 11 unions, most of them with 10,000 or fewer members. Official publications are issued by 174 of the 215 unions listed. Of these unions, 7 reported 2 pub lications. These national or international union journals are primarily designed to keep the mem bership informed of developments affecting their own union, as well as of the labor movement as a whole.

Research and Education Directors The compilation and interpretation of various data is a function frequently assigned to union re search personnel. These staff members often draw up special reports and manuals for use in collective bargaining or in hearings before Government agencies. Union educational activity is main tained either as a separate program or is merged with the research function. Union reports and other available sources were used to obtain infor mation on research and education directors listed in the Directory. A total of 89 unions listed employees specifically engaged as research directors and 54 had educa tion directors. In 50 of these unions both research 6 and education directors were listed, but in 26 instances the same individual was director of both activities. Some unions also name the president or secretary-treasurer as research or education director, but for purposes of this Directory they were not listed as such.

Twenty-seven CIO unions re ported their average dues-paying membership for 1951 to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in answer to its questionnaire. The combined total member ship as reported for these 27 unions is over 4.6 million. Based upon information from other available sources, it is estimated that an additional nearly one-half million are members of the re maining six CIO unions, two CIO organizing committees and directly affiliated local industrial unions. Accordingly, total CIO membership ap pears to be approximately 5 million.16 C onventions : Annually in the last quarter of the year.

However, it does pub lish total per capita receipts. Such an aggregate figure for the year ending September 30, 1951, was published in the C IO N e w s for December 24, 1951. If this figure is divided by $1.20 (the Executive Vice President monthly per capita payment is 10 cents per member), then the average membership of the CIO on which per capita was paid for the period indicated would appear to be approximately 4 million. ♦ Allan S.

All of the 109 national or international unions affiliated with the AFL, and the 33 affiliated with the CIO are listed. Seventythree “independent” or unaffiliated unions also are listed, although in some instances these unions are not strictly “national” in scope. Unions in the latter category were listed if information indi cated that they had at least 2 local branches and agreements with more than 1 employer or if they had negotiated 10 or more agreements with dif ferent employers. Each union is listed alphabetically by the key word or words relating to the craft or industry within which the organization primarily operates. Union affiliation is indicated: AFL (American Federation of Labor); CIO (Congress of Indus trial Organizations) ; or Ind (“independent”, or unaffiliated union). For the convenience of those who are accustomed to identifying a union by its full official title (e. g., International Union, United Automobile, Aircraft and Agricultural Imple ment Workers of America), a “finding list” ap pears in the back of the Directory. Most of the unions provided the information necessary for an adequate listing in the Directory. This information was supplemented in some in stances by reference to official union sources such as convention proceedings, officers’ reports, or journals. As regards membership data, each un ion was requested to indicate its average annual dues-paying membership for the year 1951. The membership figure for each union is, therefore, that submitted directly to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, except when noted by an asterisk indi cating paid per capita membership as published in AFL 1951 convention proceedings.
