Seafarers Action Portal

Many years ago the fledgling Seafarers International Union adopted the wearing of white hats to signify that they were untouched by the criminal element that infested the Longshormen's Union. We know for certain that this is a fraud and have suspected same for a number of years. Below you will find information from a member of the American Maritime Officers Union concerning donations made to two Mafia members by both the Maritime Defense League and the American Maritime Officers Legal Defense Fund. These donations of seafarers hard earned money were made without permission or knowledge of the rank and file members of those unions.
