Local Union, based in San Francisco, CA, has been dedicated to maintaining and developing seamanship skills since 1885. With a mission to advocate for the American Merchant Marine and support seamen worldwide, they strive to establish a Brotherhood of the Sea. Their monthly newspaper provides updates on maritime events, including recent attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, as well as the coalition action taken to protect international sea lanes.
As the election season begins, Local Union's delegates have endorsed a full slate of candidates for the upcoming presidential election and have shown support for California's Ballot Measure 1, which aims to improve mental health services. Additionally, they recognize the importance of the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act in enhancing crew safety and addressing sexual assault and harassment in the maritime industry.
