http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/35868878

Correspondence, reports, pamphlets, photocopies of articles taken from commercial publications, newspaper clippings, speeches, audio tapes, memorabilia, and broadsides documenting the events surrounding the strike between Kingsport Press and its unions between 1961 and 1967. The correspondence and speeches describe events leading up to the strike, chronicle union activities during the strike, and identify the problems surrounding the unsuccessful resolution of the labor dispute. The reports document specific union issues that served to precipitate the strike. The pamphlets, newspaper clippings, and photocopies of articles define the general issues and describe the activities surrounding the Kingsport Press strike. Two 60-minute audio cassette tapes (dated April 27, 1982) contain an interview with Earl Derrick about the strike.
