REMEMBERING VISIONARY LABOR LEADER TOM DONAHUE, A FRIEND TO MM&P
AFL-CIO President Emeritus Thomas R. Donahue, one of the most influential leaders of the postwar labor movement, died on Feb. 18 at the age of 94.
He served as secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO under Lane Kirkland, an MM&P member who led the national labor federation for 16 years.
Donahue grew up in the Bronx, the son of a union member who worked as a deckhand on Staten Island ferries.
He started out working as a doorman and a bus driver before becoming a labor organizer and then going to school to become a lawyer and ultimately Kirkland’s executive assistant.
Although there were many organizing successes in the years that he served as Kirkland’s second in command, the period was marked by factory closings, unsuccessful strikes, and the loss of millions of union jobs to foreign competition: the percentage of unionized workers fell to 15.5 percent from 24 percent of the workforce.
When Kirkland was unseated in August 1995, Donahue was named interim president, but he served for only three months before losing the election to an insurgent slate led by John Sweeney, president of the Service Employees International Union.
“Years of rank-and-file frustration with labor’s decline boiled over at the convention, and the tide that had swept Mr. Kirkland away caught Mr. Donahue in its tow,” wrote Robert D. McFadden in an obituary in The New York Times.
After his election loss, Donahue remained a prominent spokesman for the labor movement, including in the bruising—and ultimately unsuccessful—battle against NAFTA.
He was a frequent witness at Congressional hearings and a frequent guest on television news programs.
He also served on the boards of numerous foundations and government panels.
“MM&P owes a debt of gratitude to Tom for his guidance and friendship over many years, including his role on the board of the Captain Richard Phillips and Lane Kirkland Trust,” said MM&P President Don Marcus.
“His heart was in the labor movement and his voice was strong and clear. He will be missed.”
Among Donahue’s many innovative ideas was Union Plus, the program that offers consumer benefits to millions of union members.
A tireless champion of organizing, he helped create the AFL-CIO Organizing Institute, and he was instrumental in international union work, supporting the Solidarity movement against Poland’s Communist regime and the investment boycott of apartheid South Africa.
“Tom was an innovator, an intellectual and a visionary labor leader who was ahead of his time,” AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond said in a statement.
“Long before the future of work and the impact of technology on workers became a robust policy debate, he was creating a blueprint for unions that encouraged experimentation with new approaches and technology to expand worker organizing and increase the labor movement’s influence.”
“That blueprint served as a guide that still influences union innovation today.”

CGIS STANDS READY TO INVESTIGATE ALL ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT IN MARITIME
The USCG has published a blog post stating that the Coast Guard Investigative Service stands ready to investigate all allegations of sexual misconduct in the maritime domain.
The agency also said that the CGIS is committed to “leveraging its authority to ensure perpetrators are held accountable so mariners and aspiring mariners can work in an environment free from the fear of being sexually assaulted or sexually harassed.”
Prior to 2021, says CGIS Director Jeremy Gauthier, the Coast Guard received very few reports of sexual assault and sexual harassment.
But following the publication of a Marine Safety Information Bulletin in December 2021, he says, “reports of sexual misconduct have increased significantly.”
The Coast Guard updated its guidance on how to report instances of sexual misconduct in MSIB 1-23, which incorporates changes included in the 2023 NDAA.
“As the system continues to improve, we felt it was important to facilitate the reporting of all forms of sexual misconduct,” Gauthier says.
The blog is posted in its entirety here.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT UNIONS LAUNCH SOLIDARITY FUND FOR EARTHQUAKE SURVIVORS
An emergency fund to support transport workers and their unions in Turkey and Syria has been launched by the International Transport Workers’ Federation and the European Transport Workers’ Federation.
“The ITF Seafarers’ Trust has already coordinated with unions to get emergency relief into some of the hardest hit areas, but as people face the gargantuan task of rebuilding their lives—for many after the loss of loved ones—there is so much more that needs to be done,” said ITF President Paddy Crumlin.
To kickstart the fund, the ITF Seafarers’ Trust has sent an emergency grant of GBP 30,000 to one of its Turkish affiliates to buy provisions including heaters, blankets, and food.
Another GBP 20,000 has been sent to the Lebanese Seafarers’ Union via the ITF Arab World Office to buy blankets and food for distribution through trusted union contacts.
