	SIU - SIU & Maritime History
		The National Seamen's Union was set up as a federation of a number of independent unions, including the Sailors' Union of the Pacific, which was the sparkplug in its organization; the Lake Seamen's Union, the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union, and the Seamen's and Firemen's union of the Gulf Coast.
		In 1913, for instance, the ISU revoked the charter of the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union because it would not support a national legislative program.
		Seamen enjoying the comparative luxury of today's ships and the good food and high wages won by union efforts in the past 50 years will be amazed by what the seamen of 1915 hailed as the major achievements of the act passed that year.

	ON THIS DAY 23 1966: Emergency laws over seamen's strike
		Ports and docks around the country are becoming increasingly congested as ships are brought to a standstill by protesting members of the National Union of Seamen.
		In 1990 the union amalgamated with the National Union of Railwaymen to form the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT).
		He acknowledged conditions and regulations governing the seamen needed to be modernised, but said the pay demands could not be satisfied because the resulting amount of overtime pay would go counter to the prices and incomes policy that aims to reduce inflation by limiting wage rises to 3.5%.

	James Connolly: Titanic Struggle (1913)
		Havelock Wilson, General Secretary, National Seamen’s and Firemen’s Union, has mentioned the strike on the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company as an instance of our erratic methods, it may be worth while to note that as a result of that strike some of his sailors got an increase of 5s.
		In the year 1911 the National Seamen’s and Firemen’s Union, as a last desperate expedient to avoid extinction, resolved upon calling a general strike in all the home ports.
		It was not registered, in most places it was not even affiliated to the local Trades Union Councils, and its national officials had always been hostile to the advanced labour movement.

	Spies and the British Labour Movement
		At that time, one National Union of Seamen committee reportedly consisted entirely of Special Branch informers, and the union's right wing officials were regularly informed about the activities of union militants.
		It is the duty of the trade unions to set up a monitoring group to investigate and expose the interference of the intelligent services within the labour movement, especially the covert activities of rightwing organisations and publications.
		The M15 agent told the programme: "The extreme left were getting the upper hand and were dictating the policy of the unions to some great extent, then we found ourselves actually going to unions and talking to the top union officials about what was going on.

	James Connolly: To the Seafarers (1916)
		We would respectfully submit to all the seamen and firemen whose domicile is in Ireland that experience has proven to them that they cannot expect any justice from the national officials of the Union in question.
		We wish again to draw the attention of all thoughtful Labour men and women to the extraordinary attitude of the officials of the National Seamen’s and Firemen’s Union to the claims of their members in Ireland, and more especially in the port of Dublin.
		For this refusal the National officials of the Seamen’s and Firemen’s Union declined to grant them any strike allowance, and for many weeks they have been dependent upon Liberty Hall for their weekly pittance.

		They are the destruction of the Canadian Seamen's Union and Canada's merchant marine fleet, and the destruction of the most advanced aeroplane of its kind in the world, the Canadian Avro Arrow.
		By 1968 the Seafarer's International Union which had finally been expelled in 1960 was back in the national union organization and remains today Canada's dominant seamen's union.
		The number of communists in the union, the effect of some communist membership and communists among the leadership, and whether it was a "communist union" (whatever that means, precisely) is disputed.

	EducationGuardian.co.uk Special Reports Obituary: Tony Topham
		Trade Unions And Politics was published in 1986, and their magnum opus, the two-part History Of The Transport and General Workers Union (1991), recently republished as a single paperback, is not only an important contribution to labour history, but provides an invaluable insight into the nature of labour organisation in Britain.
		It was followed by The New Unionism: The Case For Workers' Control (1972), Trade Unions In Britain (1980) - which became a standard text in colleges and universities - and, in 1983, by the editing of Planning The Planners, a critique of Economic Planning And Industrial Democracy, a TUC/Labour party report.
		The academic and writer Tony Topham, who has died aged 74, was one of the leading figures among the group of academics and trade union leaders who, in the 1960s and 70s, sought to advance the movement for workers' control in British industry.

		Yet Indian seamen's unions were among the first trade unions to appear in India, and by the 1920s they had emerged from uncertain beginnings two decades earlier to become an established presence at the chief recruiting ports of Calcutta and Bombay.
		At British ports, where many of them journeyed in the course of their engagements, it was common for unions of local seafarers to denigrate and despise Indian seamen as cheap coolies who stole jobs that belonged rightfully to white British seamen.
		The manner in which Indian seamen used their knowledges and experiences to negotiate their way through a world in which they were handicapped by class, race, nationality, and colonial subjection forms the subject of the fourth and fifth sections.

	Australian maritime union "victory" opens further attack on seamen's jobs and conditions
		In fact, as the dispute continued, the union bulletins became progressively worse, pillorying seamen on flag of convenience ships as “foreign workers” who “pay no taxes in Australia” and calling on MUA members and supporters to “defend the integrity of the national coastline”.
		In this context, the struggle for “national” jobs and conditions is archaic and cuts across the need for the international unification of the seafarers.
		The flags flown by ships rarely correspond to the national composition of their crews, many of which are now multi-national.

	BBC - Tyne Roots - Black History Month - The story behind Britain's first race riot
		It was around this time the 'Minority Movement' a left wing group of black and white workers formed to challenge the National Union of Seamen and the Shipping Federation, who were under-representing and failing to defend the welfare of foreign workers.
		According to National Archives documents in 1921 the India Office gave responsibility to the British and Foreign Sailors' Society to repatriate the Adenese and Indian seamen who were destitute.
		After WWI foreign (mainly Arab) seamen found their position was changed from that of being welcome, to now being seen as unwanted guests.

	The Strange case of John Prescott
		This is surely the case with poor old John Prescott, once National Union of Seamen firebrand, and now "responsible" statesman and minister in charge of the Labour Government's stand against the just demands of Britain's firefighters.
		"The job of the Inquiry was to discredit the seamen's case, and to deliver up the sailor for sacrifice on the altar of George Brown's Incomes Policy", concludes John Prescott.
		At that time, seamen faced their own bitter opposition from a Labour Government, which imposed a state of emergency.

	Enemy at Home pamphlet about Guadalcanal and labor by National Maritime Union
		This pamphlet is the answer to the latest and most vicious attack on the members of the National Maritime Union.
		Although the Union, through its president, Joseph Curran, showed that there was no rule prohibiting Sunday work, that seamen have always worked on Sunday and that the men at Guadalcanal would have been brought up on mutiny charges, if they had, refused to work, the Axis--aiders still gave widespread play to the lie.
		Letters were received at the union office from members of the armed forces who said they had read the attack in the papers, but had not seen any denials from the union.

	The Story of HMS Keren
		HMS Keren was the ex-Sealink Ferry "St Edmunds", which was purchased by the MoD shortly after the Falklands War ended.There was a dispute between the National Union of Seamen and the MoD regarding whether they would be paid 'ferry' or 'deep sea' rates of pay with the result that they went on strike.
		Inevitably there was a great deal of national and local press coverage at the time, and the tabloids accused us of acting in a piratical way and hijacking the ship.
		We brought HMS Keren back up the Tyne, berthed alongside in one of the shipyards (cannot remember which one), decommissioned (it became MV Keren) and marched off triumphantly to much abuse from local trade unionists, shipyard workers and the leader of the NUS, Jim Slater.

		As general secretary, he played a central role in the merger with the National Union of Seamen which, led to the formation, in 1990, of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers, the union which Jimmy led until his death in August 2001.
		By 18, he was combining his signalling duties with those of branch collector for the National Union of Railwaymen; and by 21 he was NUR branch secretary.
		Though the railways were at the centre of Jimmy's life, he was also a highly influential figure within the wider trade union movement, helping turn the TUC into a more campaign-focussed organisation, and within the Labour Party, where he strongly supported many of the changes which helped to make the Party electable again in 1997.
