Biographical Note

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District Lodge No. 751 traces its origins to the founding of Local Lodge 751 of the International Association of Machinists at the Boeing Airplane Company in 1935. This local union organized Boeing on an industrial rather than craft basis. The first collective bargaining agreement with Boeing was signed July 1, 1936. A union shop was established with the second contract, in 1937. The union was re-organized as District Lodge No. 751 in 1941. It now consists of local lodges 751-A (assembly and production workers), 751-C (machinists), 751-E (electronics workers), 751-F (inspectors, clerks, others), Local 86 (workers in Spokane area), Local 1123 (workers in Wenatchee area and Grand Coulee Dam), and Local 1951 (Richland).
