This pin was issued circa 1930s - 1940s to members of the to members of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE). The United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE), is an independent “left wing” democratic rank-and-file labor union.UE was one of the first unions to be chartered by the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and grew to over 600,000 members in the 1940s. UE was founded in March 1936 by workers in major plants of the General Electric Company, Westinghouse Electric, RCA, and other leading electrical equipment and radio manufacturers.As in many of the new CIO unions organized in the 1930s, the membership and leaders of UE included a variety of radicals, including socialists and communists, as well as New Deal liberals and Catholics. Foes of UE in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s charged the union with "communist domination," but UE was and remains one of the most democratic US labor unions. UE withdrew from affiliation with CIO in 1949 over differences related to the developing Cold War, during the early stages of which UE was referred to as one of the basic sources of anti-American propaganda both inside and outside the US. It suffered significant losses of membership through the 1950s to raids by other unions, in particular the International Union of Electrical Workers (IUE) which was set up by the CIO in 1949 with the goal of replacing UE. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SHIPPING CHARGE TO DESTINATIONS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES IS $5.50 OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES SHIPPING IS THROUGH EBAY'S GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM.
