The Southwestern Telephone Workers Union, Local 3028, organized approximately 1937. In 1947, the members voted to join the newly organized Communications Workers of America (CWA). The local was originally CWA, Local 2003, but was renamed Local 6201 about 1950. Texas was a separate district between 1974 and 1986, and during that time the local was named 12201. Another reorganization of CWA in 1986 returned the name to Local 6201. The majority of members of Local 6201 were employed by Southwestern Bell Telephone Company or AT&T Corp., formerly known as American Telephone and Telegraph Company. The records include correspondence, memoranda, minutes, financial records, legal documents, reports, convention materials, topical files, and printed material. The records reflect the activities of the union on the local and district levels as well as limited participation on the national level. The topical files include information on bargaining, grievances, labor/management cooperation, annual conventions, and safety. The printed material includes agreements, contracts, constitutions and bylaws, booklets, brochures, bulletins, manuals, pamphlets, and newsletters.
