Machinists Withdraw From AFL Membership
The International Association of Machinists announced it will quit the American Federation of Labor in May over a long running jurisdictional dispute. IAM President Harvey W. Brown said the move ends 48 years of AFL affiliation while hoping to maintain influence and fair treatment. The split centers on Carpenter’s union encroachment and AFL executive council actions restricting disclosure of jurisdictional fines. Brown notes IAM will stay independent and continue paying about 40 000 per year in dues, with membership growth cited as a factor.
