The telephone operators collection contains a variety of documents illustrating the group's evolution from its days with the Telecommunications International Union (TIU) through its initial years with the Communications Workers of America (CWA). The materials represent activities ranging from everyday issues to nation-wide concerns, though the majority of the collection focuses on local topics. Although the union formed in the late 1940s, the collection mainly covers the 1970s and later.There is a considerable amount of correspondence which the union divided by national and local letters and memos. Many letters document CWA headquarters executive committee members and local executive committee members decision making. The disaffiliation from the TIU and affiliation with CWA is well-documented.The collection has a selection of legal contracts and agreements, many dealing with the period following the breakup of AT&T. There are also agreements regarding union affiliation and materials documenting the 1989 strike. Researchers will find day-to-day issues represented in the subject files dealing with specific offices and special projects. Conventions and seminars are represented in the collection on the national and local levels. Many union activities, including strikes and conventions, are documented through photographs.The membership series features grievances, applications, and resignation paperwork.
