Where the Machinists Union Began
In 1888, nineteen machinists at the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad assembled in a locomotive pit to decide what to do about a wage
cut. They voted to form a union, which later became the International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
Capital Air Lodge 1759 organized on March 7, 1946 as PenCenAir, chartered
in Washington, D.C. Our name changed to Capital Air Lodge 1759 in March,
1951. The charter location changed to Alexandria, Virginia on July 7,
1977. Local 1759 offices are presently located in Herndon, Virginia. |
