Collection material in English
Neil P. Speirs was born in Alberta, Canada, on December 25, 1912 and moved to the
United States with his parents in 1919. He became a naturalized citizen in 1942. Mr.
Speirs graduated from the University of Idaho in 1934, having majored in business
and education.
Mr. Speirs began his railroad career with Southern Pacific Railroad, working in the
railroad's train yards. He was first elected to the local Grievance Committee of
Adjustment for the Switchmen's Union of North America [SUNA], Local 98 (San
Francisco, CA) in 1950. In 1952, he was elected as a full-time officer, serving as
chairman of the General Grievance Committee of Adjustment, Southern Pacific Railroad
[SP]. Mr. Speirs served in this capacity until 1955, when he was elected to serve as
SUNA International Vice-President. In 1959, he was elected to be President of SUNA
and served as President until January 1, 1969.
On January 1, 1969 SUNA, along with the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen, the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen formed the United Transportation Union [UTU]. Upon the merger, Mr. Speirs
became Assistant President of UTU.
In 1969, President Richard Nixon appointed Mr. Speirs as the Labor Member of the
Railroad Retirement Board. In 1974, President Gerald Ford re-appointed him to that
position. He retired from the Railroad Retirement Board in 1977, but served on the
Arbitration Panel of the National Mediation Board on a part-time basis until
1978.
Inclusive date range: 1952-1973, undated
Bulk dates: 1960-1968
This collection consists of a photograph scrapbook and loose photographs collected by
Neil P. Speirs. The photographs document his various activities as president of SUNA,
assistant president of the UTU, labor member of the Railroad Retirement Board, and other
activities in which he participated in the course of his work in organized labor. Mr.
Speirs' personal scrapbook contains annotation identifying the people in the photographs
as well as where and when they were taken. Of note in this album are four photographs
of Eleanor Roosevelt at the AFL-CIO convention in Miami Beach, Florida. Many of the
pictures in the scrapbook are duplicated in the loose pictures in this collection.
Other notable photographs picture Mr. Speirs with President Lyndon B. Johnson in
1965, when the president signed an act authorizing investigation into the use of high-speed
ground transportation systems. Many of the photographs are from the various meeting and
conventions that preceded the creation of the UTU in 1969. There are numerous picture
of Mr. Speirs with the other three union presidents that united to form the UTU. The men
are Charles Luna, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, H. E. Gilbert, the
president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers, and C. F. Lane, the president
of the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen. Many of the photographs of these four men may
be found in the UTU pamphlets in Collection 6215, ""=Neil P. Speirs Collection of U.S. Railroad
Retirement Board Member Files, 1963-1994." Finally, there are many pictures of the
participants from the labor group who participated in the U. S. President's Railroad
Commission in 1960.
