EOnation: Unions with EO experience

["Jacquelyn Yates" <Yates@salem.kent.edu>]

Dear Friends, 

It's been a while since we corresponded, but I'm hoping for your help now.  
John and I are putting together a little handbook on employee ownership for the 
ILO, and it would be nice to include a partial list of unions that have 
employee-owner members or workers' cooperative members. Practitioners like to 
get together and exchange experiences directly, so we could facilitate that 
with this list.  The list doesn't have to be complete -- In my mind, having 
wide geographic coverage is more important than getting every union listed. 

Here's my list so far from the U.S.  
Aluminum, Brick and Glass Workers International Union (ABGW) now merged with  
USWA; Association  of Airline Pilots of America (ALPA - United Airlines), 
Atlantic Communication and Technical Workers' Union (ACTWU); Graphic 
Communications International Union (GCIU) Independent Steel Workers; 
(independent union at Weirton); International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers 
(IBEW),;  International Brotherhood of Teamsters; International Union of 
Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine and Furniture Workers-Communications 
Workers of America. (IUE-CWA) International Association of Machinists (IAM 
–United Airlines), International Union of Operating Engineers; Sprinkler 
Fitters Local 669 (many branches of this union in many states) in United 
Association of Journeymen Plumbers, Gas Fitters, Steam Fitters and Steam 
Fitters;  United Auto Workers (UAW) (Chrysler), United Food and Commercial 
Workers Union (UFCWU – O&O grocery stores in Philadelphia, Rath Packing Co.); 
United Steelworkers (USWA - numerous)

Can you help me -- especially with unions in other countries? And any additions 
to my U.S. list are very welcome.

Thanks for any help you can give. Jacquelyn
