Tailors vote to extend union jurisdiction across garments
In Bloomington Aug 7 the Journeymen Tailors' International union approved extending its reach to all workers in tailoring and related cleaning and pressing establishments. The move would absorb about 62,000 Garment Workers and 93,000 Women Garment Workers members, joining the union's 12,000 locals. Washington plans initial distribution of a crop moving fund totaling 500 million dollars early next week, with allocations potentially favoring banks that filed applications and some small banks missing out.
