Public records raise at least one point you should look into before giving.
What it says it does
Our aim will be to promote and protect the interest of our membership, to elevate the moral, intellectual, and social conditions of all working men and women, to assist each other in sickness and distress. To encourage apprenticeship and a higher standard of skill, to cultivate a feeling of friendship, and to assist each other to secure employment. To aid and assist all organizations and to uphold the dignity of labor and resist oppression by honorable means. To hold it as a sacred principle, that union members above all others, should set a good example as good and faithful workers, performing their duties to their employer with honor to themselves and to their organization.
