PREFACE

This list includes fishermen!s and fish shore workers! unions only. The list was originally compiled February 1948, and the latest revision was made April 1968. It may not be complete because considerable change is taking place among fishery unions as some become dormant or are dissolved, new unions or branches are formed, or affiliations are changed. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, therefore, assumes no responsibility in supplying the list to inquirers. Information on changes may be secured from the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, Washington, D.C. 20240.

In addition to this list of unions, there are two other lists, one for associations and another for cooperatives. The List of Fishery Associations in the United States includes only associations of fishermen .and vessel owners (which are not cooperatives) and such associations composed of wholesale and retail dealers, processors, and distributors. The List of Fishery Cooperatives in the United States has only organizations of fishermen currently recognized by the Department of the Interior as cooperatives under the provisions of the Fishery Cooperative Marketing Act of 1934. It should be noted that some activities of certain fishermen!s unions, which include boat operators among their membership, are in the nature of fishery cooperative marketing and have been considered as such by Federal courts (34 F. Supp. 970, 974; 315 U.S. 143). .

All three lists are revised periodically and may be obtained free from the Branch of Foreign Trade and Economic Services, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, 1815 N. Fort Myer Drive, Rm. 606, Arlington, Va. 22209.
