Research Dept. correspondence, 1946-1956.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/38475699

The collection consists of correspondence of the Research Dept. of the United Textile Workers of America (UTWA) from 1946-1956 spanning the administrations of Research Directors Benjamin Haskel (1946-1952) and Frank Gorman (1952-1956). Materials relate primarily to technical matters involving communications with UTWA officials and international representatives. Files include information regarding local union compliance with Taft-Hartley Act provisions, time motion studies, worker education programs, visits from foreign textile workers/unionists, the preparation of testimony for presentation to congressional committees, gathering financial reports on textile firms, compiling/distributing information on negotiation sessions, wage rates, and work load data. Since the Research Director edited the UTWA newspaper, the TEXTILE CHALLANGER, information relating to gathering news stories and photographs from organizers, subscription and distribution matters, and correspondence with other labor newspapers or labor press associations makes up a large portion of the series. Major correspondents include Roy Groenert, Joseph Krause, Joseph Jacobs, Phillip Salem, Frank Sgambato, John Vertente, the American Standards Association, the American Friends Service Committee, the International Labor Press Association, the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, the U.S. Dept. of Labor, and the AFL.
