IUE organizing campaign files of Presidential Assistant Les Finnegan, 1950-1955 (bulk 1953-1955).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122562286

Created from miscellaneous organizational material which once formed part of Finnegan's general reference files. This artificial series consists mainly of IUE campaign literature (leaflets, circular letters, pamphlets, and broadsides) and publicity material (radio and TV scripts, press clippings, ads) used in various local and regional organizing drives. Accompanying correspondence, memoranda, and notes generated by Finnegan, Ray Hansen (Publicity Director), IUE Field Representatives, and CIO regional organizers provide contextual information regarding the strategic role that publicity played in the union's planning of organizing campaigns, as well as local conditions. IUE organizing campaigns within the GE chain predominate although a few Westinghouse plants are also represented within the series.
