Although the AFL did not consult with employees in setting up their unions in northern California, workers had the potential to trigger an investigation by the NLRB. WORKER AGENCY AND NLRB STRUCTURE IN SANTA CLARA Soon after the AFL and canning firms created a series of canning unions in northern California in the late 1930s, CIO unions tried to gain control of the AFL locals. In Santa Clara, dried fruit workers sought to shift their contract from the AFL to the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU).

Anderson pointed out that employment at Hovden—​and at every other sardine plant in Monterey—​required signing an AFL pledge card. Anderson wrote that the “inference to be drawn from this is more eloquent than any words the witness could have used. ”60 Anderson documented how the AFL’s union shop in Monterey ensured that the AFL acquired a pledge card from each employee. The AFL union shop functioned, in part, to produce evidence of worker support for the AFL that registered with the NLRB. The relationship between AFL pledge cards and the AFL union shop in Monterey divided the San Francisco NLRB field office.

51 The CIO continued to represent workers at Whiz Fish into the early 1950s. 52 Officials at the NLRB headquarters in Washington, DC, worried about the potential of a closed shop to stop workers from changing their choice of a union, debating the issue as early as 1936 and into the 1940s. 53 For the fish canneries, NLRB decisions made the closed shop an effective, legal method for unions to control pledge cards. The tight connection between pledge cards and the closed shop shaped the Seattle office’s investigation at Whiz Fish Products.
