LIZ SHULER ELECTED TO FOUR-YEAR TERM AS PRESIDENT, VOWS TO LEAD NATIONWIDE ORGANIZING DRIVE; FRED REDMOND ELECTED SECRETARY-TREASURER

Delegates representing AFL-CIO affiliates, labor councils and constituent groups have elected Liz Shuler to lead America’s labor movement.

The vote, which took place on the first day of the federation’s 29th Constitutional Convention, made Shuler the first woman ever elected to serve as president of the AFL-CIO.

The federation’s Executive Council had appointed her last August to complete the four-year term of Richard Trumka, who died in office.

In her acceptance speech, Shuler announced a plan to launch a massive organizing drive aimed at growing America’s labor movement by a million people over the course of the next decade.

The campaign will be headed by a new, high-tech mobilization and research unit, the Center for Transformational Organizing, which will “accelerate and convert the energy of this moment to take our movement into the next century,” Shuler said.

“By concentrating resources and coordinating to achieve the biggest wins, it will use the power of the entire U.S. labor movement.”

AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond was unanimously elected as the highest ranking African American officer in the history of the American labor movement.

In his acceptance speech, he quoted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who said: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”

“I know it’s true because I see all of us, as a movement, working to bend it,” Redmond added.

“Let’s keep bending that arc toward justice.”

A moving tribute to Richard Trumka took place on the first day of the convention in the presence of his wife and son.

“I wish Rich Trumka were here,” Shuler said. “But we can feel his impact everywhere.”

Her words held particular significance for MM&P, which was participating in the convention as a direct affiliate of the AFL-CIO for the first time since before its affiliation with the International Longshoremen’s Association in 1970.

Trumka recognized MM&P’s original AFL and then AFL-CIO charter several months before he died.

The AFL-CIO issued MM&P a new charter on Sept. 15, 2021.

It is signed by Shuler, Redmond and AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Tefere Gebre.

“…[T]he AFL-CIO does hereby bind itself to support International Organization of Masters, Mates & Pilots in the exercise of all its rights, privileges and autonomy as an affiliate union of the AFL-CIO,” the charter states in part.

CNO PILOT RESPONDS TO FERRY BOAT FIRE, THEN DETOURS TO ASSIST CREW OF LOADED COAL SHIP

CNO Pilot Roger Warren was in the pilots’ office at Norfolk Naval Station on the morning of June 7 when he was informed that the ferry boat SPIRIT OF NORFOLK was on fire.

“The Navy was not sending tugs at this point,” Warren said, but about 15 minutes later, several sailors knocked on the door and requested a pilot.

“I grabbed my radio and boarded the Z ONE,” Warren said, “and we proceeded to go out to the SPIRIT OF NORFOLK.”

The captain of the fire-fighting tug had arranged to put Warren on the burning ferry boat.

But before Warren could board, he was informed that the crew of the MV SPAR LYRA had sent out a distress call: the loaded coal ship had lost all means of propulsion, and the crew was afraid to lose control.

“The SPIRIT OF NORFOLK was being assisted by several other tugs, so the Z ONE and the FORT BRAGG went to assist the SPAR LYRA,” Warren said.

“From the deck of the tug, I directed the Z ONE and the FORT BRAGG to help keep the SPAR LYRA from running into piers 6 and 7 at the naval station.”

“The SPAR LYRA got extremely close to buoy 9. Buoy 9 rolled down the starboard side of the ship. We (meaning myself and the tugs) got the ship pointed back into the channel and slowed down.”

“At this time, I was able to board the SPAR LYRA and get to the bridge. I was informed by the captain of the FORT BRAGG that buoy 9 was stuck to the transom of the ship.”

“I got lines from the tugs on the ship and conferred with the pilot on board, as well as the master of the SPAR LYRA, who gave me the con.”

“As they were worried about the buoy being attached to the ship, I used the tugs to direct the ship to anchorage to prevent any damage to the ship’s rudder and propeller,” Warren said.

“With the FORT BRAGG with a line in the center lead forward and the Z ONE in a line on the starboard bow, the KAREN MORAN joined and put up a line on the starboard quarter and we took the ship to G-4 anchorage and anchored it,” Warren said.

“When the master and pilot on board were satisfied that the anchor was set and the ship was safe, I had the tugs take in their lines and we departed.”

“Kudos to you, Captain Roger, for your heroic efforts,” said MM&P Government Fleet Representative Randi Ciszewski.

“You went above and beyond the call of duty and your actions saved Navy’s day!”

“CNO Pilots make the leap of faith every day in support of Navy and our great nation,” she said.

“Their global contributions are recognized at the highest echelons of our government, which is why MM&P is one of the few, if not the only Union, that retains recognition with the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO).”

IN DEFENSE BILL MARK-UP, HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE PROPOSES BUILDING 10 NEW SEALIFT SHIPS

The House Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces has completed its mark-up of the FY 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Along with full funding for the Maritime Security Program and the Tanker Security Program, the subcommittee proposed that up to 10 sealift vessels be built in U.S. shipyards for use in the National Defense Reserve Fleet.

The NDAA establishes defense priorities and sets guidelines for military spending on an annual basis.

The other House Armed Services subcommittees are now in the process of completing their own mark-ups of the bill.

The provisions passed by the individual subcommittees will be combined into a single piece of legislation that the full committee plans to mark up on June 22.

Under the provisions of the Seapower Subcommittee’s mark-up, the Maritime Administration would head up design and construction of the 10 new sealift ships, just as it did in the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel program for the construction of the new maritime academy ships.

“[A] domestic newbuild plan is… an unparalleled opportunity to boost our domestic shipbuilding industry and supply chain—and, with it, good American jobs,” said Seapower Subcommittee Chair Joe Courtney (D-Conn.).

TTD SAYS PROPOSED CHANGE TO FEDERAL DRUG TESTING RULES COULD COST WORKERS’ THEIR JOBS

A proposed change to pre-employment drug testing rules that would designate a missed drug test as a positive test result could lead to thousands of workers being mistakenly classified as drug users, according to the AFL-CIO Transportation Trades Department.

The Department of Health and Human Services has proposed the new rule, which would apply to the millions of American workers in safety-sensitive positions who are required to undergo drug testing.

TTD submitted public comments on the proposals on June 6.

Under the proposed rule, a person who fails to show up for a pre-employment test is classified as having refused to take the test, which, in turn, would be recorded as a positive drug test result.

“It is not uncommon for individuals in the transportation industry to accept a different job or assignment after the scheduling of their pre-employment drug test,” TTD said.

“Employees should not be required to report for a test or penalized for failing to do so when they decide not to pursue or have declined the job for which the test is required.”

Mariners and flight attendants, TTD noted, would be among those most seriously affected by the proposed rules, because they may interview with several employers in a short period of time and receive many job offers before accepting one.

TTD said a number of issues in the proposal “raise legal, procedural, and substantive concerns” and should be withdrawn.

The Department of Transportation is required to establish its own drug and alcohol testing standards by adopting HHS scientific and technical guidelines and then promulgating regulations applicable to the transportation workforce.

In adopting HHS guidelines, DOT does not have the authority to modify the underlying scientific and technical standards.

“While we urge HHS to withdraw the problematic provisions in these proposed guidelines,” TTD stated in its comments, “if HHS moves forward to adopt the guidelines as proposed, DOT should not adopt such provisions that are unnecessary and contrary to the needs of the transportation workforce.”

Ironically, HHS has also proposed eliminating the public-comment period on its new rules, which would prevent unions and others from weighing in.

“Providing an opportunity for public comment on all changes to drug testing panels is the bare minimum requirement to ensure that workers are adequately informed of proposed changes and have an opportunity to make their voices heard,” TTD said.

MM&P is one of the 37 unions representing millions of transportation workers nationwide who belong to the AFL-CIO Transportation Trades Department.
