The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 37 (AFSCME DC 37) Printed Ephemera Collection is an artificial collection, collected and assembled by the Tamiment Library over the course of several decades. AFSCME DC 37 is an umbrella federation made up of over 50 local unions representing public employees in New York City. Chartered in 1944, DC 37 has grown from an organization of less than a thousand employees in the city's parks, hospital, finance, and health departments to the country's largest federation of public employees, with more than 125,000 members working in the city's agencies and cultural institutions. The collection consists of printed matter put out by DC 37, including contracts and constitutions, fliers, circular letters and pamphlets. There are also files from various locals, notably Local 375 (Civil Service Technical Guild), Local 420 (Hospital Workers), and Local 1930 (New York Public Library).
