              <text>Mel Galbraith’s introduction to the lithography trade began in the Navy in 1946 and later in 1952 training young people in a sub-tender print shop.  Out of the service Galbraith served as an apprentice on a multilith press in Minneapolis, joined Local 10 of the ALA, and became shop steward in 1954.  In 1960 Galbraith moved to become the full-time president of the ALA Local in Des Moines, Iowa. In 1961 he was appointed international representative to cover Midwestern areas. He discusses the role of an international representative, his experiences with conglomerate-type negotiations, stresses the pro’s and con’s of the coordinated approach to negotiating contracts and reflects on the changing patterns of negotiations within the printing industry. Galbraith offers his thoughts on the merger with the Photoengravers Union, the merger with the Bookbinders, and he offers an opinion on merger in the future with other unions.</text>
