Minutes of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America General Executive Board 1936-1995.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/301735229

The General Executive Board minutes date from 1936 to 1995 and provide insight into national issues affecting the UE. The earliest GEB minutes provide information regarding the organization of the union. The GEB minutes also provide information about other organizations to which the UE made financial contributions for reasons of mutual interest. Some of the minutes provide detailed reports on the political and legislative work undertaken by the union at both the National Office and Washington Office. GEB minutes from the 1940s-1950s provide detailed reports on specialized committees created by the GEB, such as the National Servicemen and Veterans Welfare Committee, National Defense Committee, and National Fair Practices Committee. Some of the minutes contain statements drafted by the GEB on national topics such as unemployment, the Vietnam War, returning WWII veterans, and McCarthyism. The GEB minutes from the 1940s-1960s also provide reports from the research department and its investigations on group insurance and pension plans for the UE staff. At the local level, the GEB minutes reveal that charters were both issued as well as revoked. In addition, the minutes contain information on individual and local concerns that remained unresolved after consideration at the district level. Organizational reports from 1939 to 1983 are also filed with the minutes. These are comprised of both written summaries and charts which provide a condensed, yet thorough, account of the major organizational campaigns of the UE. The reports include information on chartered locals, contract negotiations, National Labor Relations Board proceedings, information on publications, and changes in the Organizing Department staff.
