Gaston LeBlanc papers, 1937-1970.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/30864076

This collection includes two short biographies of Gaston LeBlanc written by his son, Paul LeBlanc. The first is personal and reflective. The second is a factual account of Gaston LeBlanc's background, family and work, including information on the United Stone & Allied Products Workers of America (US&APWA), and several friends/co-workers whose names appear on documents and whole file folders in the collection. A few records in the collection go back as far as 1937, but the bulk of the collection is from 1946 to 1970, the years LeBlanc worked for the AS&APWA. Records from and about this union include constitutions; contracts; draft contracts; contract negotiations; wage schedules; meeting minutes; correspondence; and the union's newspaper, The Beacon. Newspapers, pamphlets, contracts, correspondence, and reports from other unions also appear throughout the collection. Reports and pamphlets from the United States government and companies that the US&APWA dealt with are also included. There are a few photographs in the collection. Those photographs which appear to be of family and friends are unlabeled and undated. A few that show US&APWA conventions have names written on the back.
