This series documents legal activities and relations between the union and telephone company management. Many of these files belonged to Donna Conroy, president, and Kim Young, executive vice president, of Local 1112. This includes agreements and contracts dating from the 1950s to the end of the 20th Century. The bulk of material in the series, however, relates to the 1989 strike, informational picketing, and ongoing mobilization efforts. The union mobilized its members during bargaining in support of new contracts, against office closures, and against robot technologies replacing operators. Although some files mention specific union members, the papers relate to broader union-wide action, such as the 1989 strike. See Series #6: Membership for files on individual union members pursuing their own legal action. The Local 1112 also created several photo albums of union activities such as strikes and informational picketing. The photos were removed from these albums for preservation purposes, placed in archival-quality photo sleeves, and filed within this series where appropriate.

This series consists of works written by Alexander Semmler for string or chamber orchestra and other chamber ensembles, both with and without piano accompaniment. Also included in this series is a program from a memorial concert given for Semmler, which was stored with the materials. Some items have attached descriptions of their genesis and performance history, possibly intended originally as program notes. These descriptions, all typewritten, may or may not be Semmler's work. Please note that the notations for the Opus 15 and the Opus 16 items are in German. This fact, coupled with the items' original housing in a RIAS folder, would suggest that they were created during Semmler's time with RIAS, although this is not a certainty.
