The National Organization for Women Legal Defense and Education Fund (NOW LDEF) is a women's rights advocacy group formed in the 1970s. In 1983, a small group of the support workers formed an organizing committee to seek union representation and chose to be represented by the National Organization of Legal Service Workers, UAW Local 2320 (part of UAW District 65). Ultimately, the Legal Service Workers were unsuccessful in obtaining a contract. The Collection includes: correspondence, minutes of negotiating sessions, drafts of collective bargaining agreements, records and transcripts of the NLRB hearing over bargaining unit, and organizational records of Siobhan Cronin.
