National Union of Seamen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 1990, the NUS amalgamated with the National Union of Railwaymen to form the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT). In 1917 the Union provoked controversy by refusing to convey Arthur Henderson and Ramsay MacDonald to a conference of socialist parties in Stockholm, which had been convened in the wake of the Russian Revolution to discuss the possibility of a peace policy. Nor was the leadership of the union greatly influenced by ' socialism '. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Sailors'_and_Firemen's_Union

CHAPTER_ELEVEN.doc National Executive specially summoned for tomorrow." This was sent after the TUC had consulted the rail delegates from Limerick, the Dublin rail workers at Inchicore, the Railwaymens' Emergency Committee, a national co-ordinating body of all rail unions, as well as the national Republican leadership. There were doubts over whether the National Union of Railwaymen could be relied on to paralyse transport in such a strike, and without doubt, the Unionist workforces of Ulster would actively oppose it. Thomas Farren took part in the 1916 Rising and was one of a group of trade union leaders with nationalist sympathies who were arrested afterwards. www.limericksoviet.com /CHAPTER_ELEVEN.doc

Dáil Éireann - Volume 94 - 29 September, 1944 - Transport (No. 2) Bill, 1944—Committee (Resumed). Lemass: That, I understand, is the practice—that, when an agreement is made with the National Union of Railwaymen, the unions not in the negotiation machinery then conclude separate agreements on the same terms. It is only in respect of the members of the National Union of Railwaymen that the National Union of Railwaymen's representatives should be entitled to speak. If a union is not representative of all the employees, it is not representative of all the employees, and whatever union is representative of the remaining employees should be entitled to negotiate its own agreements. www.oireachtas-debates.gov.ie /D/0094/D.0094.194409290007.html

Evatt Foundation: Publication: Trade union organising & labour history - 21 January 2003 The relationship between union officials and union members was a transactional one where leaders and union officers took on the role of expert problem solvers and industrial specialists and took responsibility for managing the union. While trade union growth theory highlights a range of exogenous factors to explain fluctuations in membership, there is a need to for both contemporary researchers and labour historians to recognise that trade unions are active agents in shaping their own destiny. There is evidence that a number of unions collapsed under the strain of the costs associated with arbitration and, while in theory the new system protected unionists, it did not do away with the employer victimisation that had been a feature of the 1890s. evatt.labor.net.au /publications/papers/72.html

James Connolly: Home Thrusts (1913) The decision of the National Union of Railwaymen to re-open the London and North-Western boats from Dublin to Holyhead put their Dublin members in the position that they had either to be disloyal to their Union or to their class. So the Transport Union officials, in view of the long and heroic fight those men had made, told them that for the present, and pending negotiations, the latter Union would not demand from the men the payment of such a heavy penalty as refusal to obey their Union would involve. Delegates were to be there from the Federation of Trade Unions, from the Transport Workers’ Federation, and from the Trade Union Congress, and all the joint energy and combined power of these great bodies were to be directed with a single mindedness of purpose towards the one great end of raising the siege of Dublin. www.marxists.org /archive/connolly/1913/12/hometh.htm
