Communications Workers of America, Local 1153 Records Bulk, 1976-1987 1944-1999

http://dlib.nyu.edu/findingaids/html/tamwag/wag_132/wag_132.html

Communications Workers of America, Local 1153 was chartered in 1975, after more than 500 members of the Manhattan-based Local 1150 petitioned for a new local to represent American Telephone & Telegraph’s Long Lines (long distance) employees working in the White Plains and Mount Kisco area. The jurisdiction granted to Local 1153 compromised Westchester, Rockland, Orange and Putnam Counties in New York; and for the Construction Department only, all of New England, New Jersey and New York. But the majority of the Local’s members are located in White Plains. Local 1153 has taken a strong stand on many issues, including job losses, job pressures, seniority rights, the creation of new job titles, health and safety, and discrimination based on sex and race. The collection reflects the Local’s aggressive stance in bargaining, its role in the 1983 strike, and its criticism of many features of AT&T Divestiture.

7.75 linear feet; in 6 record cartons and 7 folders in a shared box.
