Contains minutes of general membership meetings (1947-74, 1979-88) and minutes of the executive board meetings (1950-56, 1960-88). The earliest minutes for ALA Local 59 no longer exist, and there are two significant gaps in the minutes, but otherwise these are complete. No minutes for LPIU Local 21-P are included in these minutes. Local 59 was apparently the dominant union, and only its minutes survive. For an interesting comparison with the actual minutes, see the subject files for the agendas for meetings (1973-85) as kept by the president of the local.
Contains by-laws (1951, 1963, circa 1964, circa 1972, circa 1983), contracts (1946-48, 1951-52, 1955, 1959, 1961-65, 1976, 1986-88), correspondence (1948-49, 1951-52), arbitration material (1973-80), and agendas for meetings (1973-85). This series is a collection of different types of material, including records on dealings with companies and information on the structure of the local.
Contains contracts (1950, 1960-61, 1965-85), arbitration material (1941, 1946, 1950-53, 1962-71), hearings conducted by the local (1963, 1966-69), and a constitution (1977). Most of this material concerns the Utica Graphic Communications Local No. 58-C's dealings with companies (especially with the Utica Observer-Dispatch); however, the hearings contain interesting material about the internal politics of the local. No minutes of this local survive.
