Your boss's unions!

Marine employers on the U.S. inland waterways are quick to say that mariners should not organize -- not for collective bargaining, not for any purpose. The company, they say, should be like a family. Why bring some "outside organization" in to divide management and labor?

Well hold on, Cap. Your boss has his own unions. He or she might not call them unions, but they're organizations dedicated to furthering companies' interests. These interests often include preventing employees from having too much power.

Here are some links to marine industry organizations:

 

American Waterways Operators

Greater New Orleans Barge Fleeting Association

Maritime Cabotage Task Force

Maritime Navigation & Safety Association

Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Development Council
