Series I

 Local Union Files, 1942-1972

Boxes 1-47

 

This series is largely  comprised of correspondence between SEIU locals and the International's Executive Office. It includes requests for strike sanctions, handwritten letters from rank and file members voicing various concerns, local union rosters, charter requests, approvals and revocations, grievances, orders from the Executive Office establishing or modifying union policy. Included as well are correspondence and other material regarding jurisdictional disputes, strike funds, contract negotiations, death gratuities, factional disputes, trusteeships, mergers and other issues. While all entries in the following folder level inventory for this series include local union names, check the “SEIU Charter Book” and the actual files for other names that locals were given, as local names occasionally changed. These records are arranged by local union number.
