Though this series has meeting minutes from the main executive committee of the CWA, they are very sporadic; only one or two sets of minutes exist for some years. There is a much stronger selection of meeting minutes from the local's own executive committee. There are also financial papers featuring a long run of reports and statements from the local's certified accountants. Constitutions in this series contain information on the process of the union's affiliation with CWA beginning in the mid-1980s.

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.
