Name: Frank Doolittle Age: 84 years Education: Masters in Economics Professional Career: Director of Administrative Services (City of Seattle), Member of Seatttle Mayor’s Cabinet and Founder of The Frank Doolittle Company Core values: Honoring, respecting and supporting Unions and the working class across the United States
Frank’s father Gordon, a union electrician for the Boeing Company with Jimmie Doolittle, a famous World War II Pilot.
Frank L Doolittle, 27 at the mass student protests in Seattle. Year 1970.
Frank when he worked for The City of Seattle as a budget and revenue analyst.
Frank was raised in a Union family. His father retired as a member of IBEW 46 (sic) starting in 1941 went on to be an electrician with Boeing during WWII, worked at a union silver mine in Holden, WA until the Korean War. At this time, he worked at the Bremerton Shipyard and later with Todd Shipyards in Seattle until he retired in 1969.
The union support he received during post-war downturns and several recessions made a strong impression during Frank’s formative years. He realized how most members and their families benefit from the strong support of their unions.
Frank also got to interact with Unions on a regular basis at The City and this constant presence nudged him to start a company serving these Unions; The Frank Doolittle Company.
Establishment of the Frank Doolittle Company in Seattle
Shifting focus from selling for a mix of corporate and union clients to 100% Union clients.
Expanding the Frank Doolittle Company from a regional business to a nationwide success.
Building a reputation over the years as a trusted and reliable leader in USA-made, Union-made merchandise in North America.
It’s simple. Be a dependable and honest supporter of the unions and their work.
It’s two things. The quality of our products and the design. We are not the cheapest in the market, but you can’t beat the thought and effort we put behind every piece of merchandise that goes out. Our in-house designers are skilled at not only coming up with extraordinary designs but also understanding the taste and requirement of union members.
Technology can never completely takeover the jobs of essential workers. When I started 30% of the workers were unionized and today, in corporate America probably only 10% are unionized. But, I don’t see this number going down in the future because of AI or robots. But, I feel if we resist technological advancements, we’ll become ancient in a minute. I see the future is tech and it’s better to use it to our advantage.
Our company headquarters are located in the greater Seattle area, but our suppliers and decorators are located throughout all regions of the United States. We work with and ship to organizations nationwide.
