Leon Julius Davis was born in Russia on November 21, 1907. He emigrated to the United States in 1921 and attended the Columbia School of Pharmacy (1927-1929), leaving to become a drugstore clerk. In 1932, he was a founder of the Pharmacists' Union of Greater New York and became an organizer in 1936 when the union became Local 1199 of the Retail Clerks International Association. 1199 disaffiliated with the A.F. of L. in 1937 and joined the CIO's United Retail Employees of America. In the following year, Davis participated in the founding of the United Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, with which 1199 subsequently affiliated and in which Davis became an international vice-president in 1955. In 1969, Davis was elected president of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees, while retaining presidency of the New York Drug and Hospital Union, a post which he had held for the previous two decades.

The unedited oral history interviews of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees discuss the evolution of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union drugstore local (known as Local 1199 and District 1199), representing pharmacists and drug clerks in New York City, into an international union of professional and non-professional workers in voluntary and non-profit health institutions, including hospitals, clinics and nursing homes, as well as drugstores.
Between 1933 and 1957, 1199 functioned as a drugstore local with its membership growing to 5,000 workers employed in independent and chain drugstores throughout the New York metropolitan area. With its success in organizing workers in Montefiore Hospital in New York City, the union began a massive campaign to organize workers in voluntary and non-profit hospitals in the New York area, a large proportion of whom were black or Hispanic.
In 1973, the national union was established with locals in other states, including Pennsylvania, Maryland, South and North Carolina, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. The union combined organizing efforts with civil rights organizations, in an effort to achieve mutual political goals. Throughout the period discussed in these interviews, the union was led by Leon Davis (president, Local 1199 and the National Union) whose administration guided the union's political and social activities.
