Communications Workers of America, Local 1150 Records 1939-1990s

http://dlib.nyu.edu/findingaids/html/tamwag/wag_059/wag_059.html

This collection details the development of CWA Local 1150 (long-distance telephone workers employed by AT&T), and its history as a militant force in the New York-area communications industry. The local was divided into three sections: Traffic (operators), Plant (maintenance and technical) and Administrative (clerical, white collar); and the arrangement of the records often reflects these divisions. The collection includes correspondence, memos, reports, election records, bulletins, clippings, bargaining records and agreements, and photographs.

74.5 linear feet; in 76 record cartons and manuscript boxes and one oversized folder.
