United Steelworkers of America. President's Office. United Steelworkers of America, President's Office records, 1916-1980.

Title: United Steelworkers of America, President's Office records, 1916-1980.

This collection consists primarily of records generated by United Steelworkers of America (USWA) presidents David J. McDonald and I. W. Abel, with to a lesser extent a continuation of this documentation through the transition from Abel to Lloyd McBride and into the first years of McBride's presidency (1977-1980). A single box of correspondence between districts and the president dates from Murray's presidency (1945-1947). Materials includes district and international correspondence, negotiation and election files, and speeches. In addition, the McDonald records reach back into the era of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee (1937-1942), prior to the formation of the USWA. The records in this collection also contain records from McDonald's tenure as Secretary-Treasurer of the USWA under President Philip Murray (1942-1952). The Frank Fernbach series, which remains uninventoried, was collected during his tenure under Abel as Assistant to the International President for Special Projects in the Washington, D.C., office of the USWA (1967-circa 1975), but much of the material derives from his earlier position as Assistant Director of Research for the AFL-CIO (circa 1947-1967); for closely related materials, see the Frank Fernbach Papers in the Special Collections Library. The collection contains extensive general office correspondence with USWA districts, international departments and offices, the AFL-CIO, and outside organizations in which the presidents participated. There are also files on USWA elections, negotiations, and conventions, and research files of clippings from newspapers and magazines. The documents emphasize organizational responsibilities of union officers and district directors, USWA election procedures and strategies, convention proceedings, and collective bargaining structures, including the role of industry conferences and negotiating committees.
