Call Number:

MSS APAP-021 local

Abstract:

Since GCIU Local 259-M is an amalgam of what were once three independent locals, it has records produced in all its incarnations. Although there is a good deal of documentation from Locals 259-M and 58-C, only scattered contracts remain of LPIU Local 21-P. The bulk of the records are those produced by ALA Local 59 and its successor organizations. Of special interest in these records are the minutes, which are virtually complete from 1947.

Historical Note:

The Utica Graphic Communications Unions, Local 58-C, was chartered in 1898 as Utica Printing Pressmen's Local 58 of the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union of North America (IPPAU). When the IPPAU merged with the International Stereotypers', Electrotypers', and Platemakers' Union of North America (ISE & PU) in 1973, the local became Utica Printing and Graphic Communications Union No. 58 of the International Printing and Graphic Communications Union (IPGCU). When the IPGCU merged with the GAIU to form the Graphic Communications International Union in 1983, the local became the Utica Graphic Communications Union No. 58-C.
