In 1957 the UAW created the position of Director of Special Projects and Economic Analysis for Nat Weinberg, who had headed the UAW Research Department since 1947, and he held that position until his retirement in 1974. The UAW Special Projects Department was established as part of the President’s Office and was responsible for advising the president and developing, often within a global framework, program and policy proposals and actions in the economic and collective bargaining fields and in other areas designated by the president. As Special Projects director, Weinberg helped to create innovative programs like the Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB) plan and cost-of-living adjustments.
Additional papers related to the files of the UAW Special Projects Department may be found in the Nat Weinberg Collection.
The UAW Special Projects and Economic Analysis Department Collection consists of research material, notes, correspondence, minutes, testimony, speeches, press releases, clippings and other published material related to the department’s research, advisory, and speech writing roles as well as to Nat Weinberg’s service as consultant, trustee, or member of numerous organizations and agencies.
