Opposition to Racial Discrimination in Employment: The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers' Statement on H.R. 2232, 1945-01-01 - 1946-12-31

The document presents the opposition of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders and Helpers of America to Bill H.R. 2232, which aims to prohibit discrimination in employment. The organization argues that they have not discriminated against any workers based on race and that admitting non-white members could cause issues within the organization. They also criticize the Fair Employment Practice Committee for demanding changes that would disrupt their organization. The organization believes that the bill would force them to admit non-white members and could have negative consequences for all members involved.
