Northwest Organizer (1936-1941)

The Northwest Organizer was a tabloid and later broadsheet initiated by Teamsters Local 574 from April 1935 through the early July 1941. The Trotskyist lead Local (later 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 the paper was launched in the main as the tribune of this organizing drive. The paper was published weekly and was recognized as the main labor and working class journal for the entire region. From April 1935 through August 5, 1936, The Northwest Organizer was published under the auspices of the Northwest Labor Unity Conference. After that date it was published under the auspices of the Minneapolis Teamsters Joint Council (also lead by Local 544). 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.

The Northwest Organizer, lead, arguably, by the most dynamic union in the Upper-Midwest, Local 574/544 Teamsters, became the effective tribune for the growing class struggle militancy of the working class for this region of the U.S. It’s pages chronical in minute detail the individual strikes in all industries, the massive organizing that resulted in the formation of the Central Conference of Teamsters and fights and organizing that resulted in the formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations.
