The union was led by president Joe Jurich, vice president George Hecker, and secretary-treasurer Martin Olsen. In 1950, the union was expelled from the CIO, which objected to the leading role in the union played by communists. Shortly after, it merged into the Food, Tobacco, Agricultural, and Allied Workers.
