This set of 11 magic lantern slides "Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen" shows the benefits of joining their Union in case a
loved one should die while on the job. The
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen (BRT) was a labor organization for
railroad employees founded on 23 September 1883 in Oneonta, New York by
eight brakemen. At the time, wages were just over $1 a day. The work was
dangerous, with 33% of brakemen being injured in the year of foundation.
The Brotherhood offered death coverage of up to $300, and was the only
way members could obtain insurance. The brotherhoods provided
social and educational benefits, insurance and relief, and helped
resolve disputes between members and employees. Generally, they were
very cautious about resorting to strikes. |
