AFSCME, Local 420, Hospital Workers Photographs Bulk, 1990-1999 1978-2002, (Bulk 1990-1999)

http://dlib.nyu.edu/findingaids/html/tamwag/photos_212/photos_212.html

AFSCME Local 420 represents a wide range of non-medical personnel in New York City’s municipal hospitals and health centers. Among its members are registered and practical nurses, nurses’ aides, pharmacy technicians, orderlies, cafeteria staff, clerical assistants and maintenance workers, many of them African-American or Hispanic. The Local has been active in the civil rights movement, in African-American and Hispanic community affairs, in campaigns to oppose privatization and budget cuts in public hospitals, and securing better pay, benefits and training opportunities for non-professional hospital workers. The Collection includes dated images, mainly black and white and color prints, from 1979 to 2002 (and some earlier undated images from the 1970s), but most are from the 1980s and 1990s. NOTE: This collection is housed offsite and advance notice is required for use.
