Northwest Organizer
Official Organ of the Minneapolis Teamsters Joint Council
The Northwest Organizer, was published by the Teamsters Joint Council in Minneapolis, Minn. from April 1935 through the early July 1941. We have only 7 of these available now but we will add all of them end of next year. The Trotskyist lead Local 544-AFL was the main force behind the Northwest Organizer and the Teamsters union throughout the upper-midwest during this period. The Local had gone an organizing drive for the entire upper Missisippi/Missouri valley and he paper was launched in the main as the tribun of this organizing drive. The paper was published weekly and was reconized as the main labor and working class journal for the entire region. In August of 1941, with the attack on the Local 544 by Daniel Tobin, national boss of the Teamsters and the government lead by FDR, the Local left the AFL and affiliated with the CIO as Motor Transport and Allied Workers Industrial Union Local 544-CIO. At this point the paper resumed as the Industrial Organizer under that Local's sponsorship.
Special Note of thanks to the following individuals and institutions that made copies of the Industrial Organizer available and help scan and process them for this archive: Dr. Marty Goodman and Robin Palmer of the The Riazanov Project and Rod Holt and David Walters from the The Holt Labor Library.
