United Sugar Refinery Workers, Local Industrial Union No. 917 was affiliated directly with the CIO until July 8, 1947, when they voted to affiliate with the United Packinghouse Workers of America. It then became the United Packinghouse Workers of America, Sugar and Allied Products Division, Local 399. Due to charges of Communist domination in the UPWA, the local officially disaffiliated from the UPWA on June 15, 1954. It reaffiliated directly with the CIO, received a new charter and a new name, United Sugar Workers, Local Industrial Union No. 917.
