| Additional Information | The Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express, and Station Employees (BRSCFHESE) was organized in 1899 as the Order of Railroad Clerks of America in central Missouri. The union name on this button was adopted in 1919 and since 1987 has been called the Transportation Communications International Union. In its heyday, it was the largest clerical union in the railway industry. BRSCFHESE was a highly hierarchical organization with the Grand Lodge at its pinnacle. No lodge could be formed or continue to operate without the Grand Lodge's formal approval. |
