The Amalgamation of Locals 47 and 767 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The reader will note that "merger" was stated as the "proper procedure to amalgamate the two locals." This was critical because in the process of merger it is not necessary for either of the two amalgamating organizations to dissolve in order to accomplish a legal merger. In the other amalgamation process, consolidation, both organizations must dissolve and then form a new organization. The rest of the proposal dealt with the transfer of Local 767 assets to Local 47, the matter of life membership seniority, and the very serious financial problem of death benefit rights. | ||||||
| On July 8, 1952, the Local 47 Board rejected the 767 proposal by declaring the following: | ||||||
|
||||||
| Local 47 would not accept any assets of Local 767 for fear of suits by disgruntled 767 members. (August 1952, Overture, Page 25). | ||||||
|
At this point the amalgamated effort seemed stalemated. On August 5, 1952, a Local 47 committee favoring the amalgamation of 47 and 767 appeared before the Local 47 Board of Directors. The committee included George Kast, Ed Lustgarten, Sam Albert, Al Lustgarten, Gail Robinson, Allen Robinson, Arthur Shapiro. Julius Kahn, Joseph (Sasha) Borisoff, Joe Chassman, Sam Fordis, Seymour Sheklow, Joe Egger, Emma Hardy Hill, Herb Lessner, Eddie Gorosbayne, Chick (Leonard) Dhalsten, Paul Powell, Rudy Schrager, Armand Roth, Milton Feher, Lisa Minghetti, Harold Schneier, Sidney Greene, Saralee Konigsberg, Edith Rapport, Dan Scharlin, Alex Reisman, Philip Bass, Samuel Ross, Ralph Schaeffer, Charles Gould, Roger Segure, Milton Kestenbaum, and Joseph Reilich. |
