The Switchmen's Union of North America is among the older of the railway brotherhoods.
Beginning in 1877 with the formation of a local Switchmen's organization in Chicago,
the movement became national when the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association of North
America held its first meeting nine years later.
This association was destroyed, as a result of a disastrous lockout by the Chicago
Northwestern and the 1888 strike against the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy which
had equally unfortunate results. Building on what was left of the S.M.A.A., several
lodges met in Kansas City in October of 1854 and formed the Switchmen's Union of North
America.
By the time of its merger into the United Transportation Union in 1969, the single
Chicago labor organization of 1877 had grown to international status with 275 lodges
in the United States and Canada having a combined membership of 12,000.
