Fred Pfeiffer worked with CSEA, SEIU, AFSCME, AFL-CIO, the Solidarity Committee of the Capital District, the Campaign for a Livable Minimum Wage, and the Capital District Workers Center. The largest amount of material is from his experiences with AFSCME, CSEA and SEIU.

This series includes a box of pins and buttons related to political campaigns (including ones for Democratic U.S. Presidential candidates), union programs, protests, and marches. Most of the buttons are undated, although some are stamped with the date of the election or related special event. There is a 1993 The Catholic Worker about the death of Cezar Chavez, Guatemalan refugee crisis and GATT. There also is a collection of contracts and workers' agreements, historically significant publications from national AFL-CIO meetings, and U.S. Senate Reports related to organized labor. Two NACLA's Latin America and Empire Report about President Richard Nixon are included here.
