These materials are divided into three subseries--membership services, local grievances, and National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) grievances. The first subseries has information about retirements, applications for union membership, and daily problems that needed supervisory intervention but were not serious enough to warrant actual grievance procedure. Local grievances included, but are not limited to, issues such as dismissal for poor attendance, need for lengthy sick leave, and wage discrepancies. NLRB cases are more of a mixture of individual cases as well as cases where the entire local chose to grieve an issue on behalf of all its members.
Please note that these files contain individual member information of a sensitive nature and are therefore restricted. Researchers seeking access to these materials should contact the head of archives.
