Union Labor Party

Union Labor Party

The Union Labor Party was a San Francisco white male working class political organization in the early decade of the 20th century that rose to prominence in both the labor movement and urban politics from 1901 to 1911 reaching for power after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire.

The ULP's 1909 platform advocated public ownership of utilities, a new civic auditorium, extensive public works, and a U.S. citizen-only hiring policy. The group elected P.H. McCarthy in the 1909 mayoral election.
