United Truck Drivers. Local Industrial Union 936 (Roanoke, Va.)

United Truck Drivers, Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) Local Industrial Union #936, was organized in Roanoke, Virginia. On September 6, 1939, LIU #936 signed an agreement with the Red Line trucking company. Other Red Line drivers belonged to International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen, and Helpers, Local 171, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor (AFL), and they went on strike against Red Line the following day. This first jurisdictional dispute in Roanoke between CIO and AFL affiliates was settled when the CIO revoked the charter of LIU #936 and Red Line signed a closed contract with Teamsters Local 171.
