Pittsburgh Central Labor Union records, 1929-1959.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55153393

The minute books form the core of this collection and provide a unique thread for Pittsburgh-area labor history in the three decades covered (more or less from the New Deal through the Eisenhower years). The Officers Role orAttendance Book checks off the meetings attended by the officers, members of the executive board, trustees and other officials of the PCLU between 1943 and 1951. The Dues/Delegate Ledger is a compendium of PCLU affiliates in 1937 on the eve of the split between the AFL and CIO. Furthermore, the ledger lists the names of delegates from the various affiliates to the PCLU in 1937, the address and usual meeting times of the different affiliates and the names and addresses of some of their officers.
