Green, Jake

Jake Green was a member of the National Maritime Union (NMU). The NMU, founded in 1937, organized seamen and waterfront workers. During its first decade it was one of the most radical labor unions in the United States. It lent support to anti-colonial and international revolutionary struggles and was a pioneer in integrating the East Coast shipping industry. The Communist Party was a moving force behind the union during much of its early history.
