AFL-CIO No-Raid Agreement, 1953-1967

 Series 2

Prior to the merger, on June 9, 1954, the AFL and CIO signed a No-Raiding Agreement to resolve jurisdictional claims in a manner mutually beneficial to the two parties. Following the merger in December 1955 the provisions of the No-Raiding Agreement were incorporated into the AFL-CIO Constitution as Article III, Sections 3 and 4, forming the basis of the federation's internal disputes plan. Under this plan, disputes which could not be resolved through conferences between the contending parties were submitted to an impartial umpire, David L. Cole, for final settlement.
