Title: Records of United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America, 1936-2006.

In 1975, the Archives of Industrial Society at the University of Pittsburgh was selected by the UE General Executive Board to be the national repository for the union's records. Since that time the UE national office, districts, and locals have donated their records to the Archives Service Center. This finding aid is meant to serve as a guide to the entire UE collection. Within the collection, records have been arranged into record groups, subgroups, and series to both make the collection more manageable and to properly reflect the original use of the documents. Many of the finding aids for these smaller groupings are being developed and placed online by the Archives Service Center. Included in this collection are correspondence from national officers and staff, organizers, and locals; publications created by the national union and shop papers created by locals; and research material such as clippings, publications, and reports regarding companies, communism, and other labor issues. Also present are photographs documenting UE events and members from the union's founding to the present, as well as cartoons and films addressing several important topics within the labor movement.

From 1948 to 1959 the UE and other alleged Communist-dominated unions became the chief focus of congressional and federal probes concerning Communist infiltration of American labor unions and vital defense industries. The IUE and Carey, seeking to discredit the UE's left-wing leadership in hopes of fomenting a disaffiliation movement among remaining UE locals, offered its full cooperation in providing evidence and key witnesses to substantiate UE ties to the Communist Party of America (CPA) and other Communist-front organizations. Carey's testimony before various House and Senate subcommittees is contained within this series. Several IUE members--formerly associated with the UE and CPA--were key witnesses in the HUAC hearings and the "Red" probes associated with the McCarthy era. Lee Lundgren, Samuel DiMiria, Ernst Pollock, and James B. McLeish appeared before the HUAC and chronicled communist influence within UE locals and districts in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and the New England region.
