The Marine Firemen's Union, established in 1883 in San Francisco, California, is a prominent organization representing unlicensed merchant mariners working in the engine department of various ships. Affiliated with the Seafarers International Union of North America, AFL-CIO, the union aims to increase wages, improve working conditions, and advocate for legislation beneficial to seamen and workers in general.
With a rich history rooted in the coal-burning steamers of the Pacific Coast, the Marine Firemen's Union dispatches mariners to a range of positions, including electricians, refrigerating engineers, machinists, and more. Committed to protecting its jurisdiction and uniting with other labor organizations, the union pledges its members' loyalty and ensures that they work for fair wages and alongside unionized personnel.
