Darin, Evelyn O., 1910-1977.
Evelyn Oswaldina Darin was born May 8, 1910. She was one of three sisters who worked at Westinghouse's East Pittsburgh Works, and was a member of UE Local 601, then IUE Local 601 in East Pittsburgh. In 1955, Westinghouse Electric Corporation fired Ms. Darin because of alleged Communist affiliations. Applying for unemployment compensation, Darin was turned down because she invoked the Fifth Amendment in refusing to answer the UC hearing officer's pointed question about her political affiliation. In 1960, through appeals, this decision was reversed. Ms. Darin died on September 7, 1977.
