The Diesel Workers
Union is an independent union which represents all production and
maintenance workers at Cummins Inc. southern Indiana plants. The Diesel
Workers Union is an Independent Union with a seventy-one (71) year history. Cummins Engine Company voluntarily recognized the “Employees Organization” on June 29th, 1937. Their official title was: “Cummins Employees Association.” The first labor agreement was made effective July 16th, 1937. This was a very basic agreement dealing with recognition, seniority layoff and recall, hours and wages, grievance procedures and duration of agreement. On June 9th, 1938, the employee group, through an attorney, demanded recognition as “Diesel Workers Union” of Columbus, Indiana. Immediately thereafter, the Company recognized the Diesel Workers Union and despite objections to the National Labor Relations Board by the United Auto Workers, a subsequent second labor agreement was negotiated, becoming effective on October 10th, 1938. The Diesel Workers Union has represented all Columbus Production and Maintenance employees ever since.
