Connecticut Employees Union Independent Records. 1937-1985.

http://doddcenter.uconn.edu/asc/findaids/CEUI/MSS19880025.html

The history of the Connecticut Employees Union Independent is largely the story of one man, Salvatore Perruccio. Perruccio was a prominent labor leader in the state of Connecticut for almost forty years. The Connecticut Employees Union Independent was formed on 26 April 1967, when Perruccio and 325 state employees working at the Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown decided to break away from AFSCME and begin their own union. The split wit the AFSCME was not friendly, and the Federation attacked the new union with a variety of tactics ranging from court injunctions, subterfuge, and even violence. The Independent managed to survive, and by 1981 it boasted a membership of over 8,000 state employees, most of whom were maintenance workers.
