http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/689035456

This collection consists of photocopies of typescript transcriptions of grievance committee meetings held periodically at the Inland Steel Company in East Chicago, Indiana, from 1937 to 1941. The committee comprised members of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee Inland Lodge 1010 and two representatives of company management.
