Maritime Unions
The Seafarers International Union (SIU)
"District 1 MEBA will be 125 years old in the year 2000."
"The American Maritime Officers A NATIONAL UNION CELEBRATING 50 YEARS. "Back in the old days when they were only a Marine Engineers union, the name was District 2 MEBA, and before that: Brotherhood of Marine Engineers.
"The Nautical Institute the world's leading international professional body for qualified mariners. To provide the strongest possible professional focus, dedicated to improving standards of those in control of seagoing craft, while maintaining the Institute as an international centre of nautical excellence."
The Needle Gun For those who abhor change, Paul Norman's pages illustrate how maritime unions have not changed, in the twenty odd years since I quit going to sea. This site is a must visit for the seasoned sailor and arm chair wannabe.
"Welcome to the Web Site of the International Organization of Masters, Mates, and Pilots The International Organization of Masters, Mates & Pilots (MM&P) is the International Marine Division of the International Longshoremen's Association, AFL-CIO. With 6,800 members living throughout inland and coastal states of the U.S., and in countries around the world, the MM&P represents Licensed Deck Officers, state pilots and other marine personnel on U.S.-flag commercial vessels sailing in international trade; the inland waterways and Great Lakes of the United States; the Panama Canal and Caribbean, as well as crews sailing civilian-crewed military vessels of the United States."
Sailors Union of the Pacific The Sailors Union of the Pacific was the first American maritime union with a site up on the net. They have several interesting text files. It's an interesting site with nice images, visit it! They are a gateway to other American unions who have a net presence.
