International Chemical Workers Union Council Scholarship Programs

Walter L. Mitchell

Walter L. Mitchell was President of the ICWU from 1956 until 1968 when he died unexpectedly at our Constitutional Convention. That Convention had just passed a resolution providing for a college award program for ICWU children at Mitchell’s urging. A man of working class background, Mitchell worked and went to law school at night in order to become an attorney. It is, therefore, appropriate that these Awards are a memorial to him.

Jim Hull

Brother Jim Hull joined ICWU Local 45 in 1963 and in 1981 became an International Representative serving mostly in West Virginia. Following his untimely death in August, 1992, his family and union Brothers and Sisters wish to memorialize him through this Award of $1,000, which will be granted to a Region 4C member’s child. The Award is funded by gifts in Brother Hull’s name to the WLM Memorial Trust.

Al Barkan

The first alternate is awarded the Al Barkan Memorial Award. Barkan first joined the labor movement in 1937. From 1963 to 1981, he directed the AFL-CIO’s Committee on Political Education (COPE) and brought the get-out-the-vote program into the computer age. His “on to victory” speeches galvanized thousands of unionists to action.
