Scope & Contents

The papers from the Program Development Department were placed in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs in May of 1977 by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).  They were opened for research in March of 1986.

 

The AFSCME Program Development Department was created in January of 1973 to deal primarily with such matters as health care, the deinstitutionalization of the mentally fragile, employee protections, career development and sex discrimination, and with the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW). It was funded by federal grant money, and from 1973 to May 1975 Linda Tarr-Whelan was the Deputy Director.  She was succeeded by Nancy Perlman who was named Acting Director.  By late 1975 its source of funding had so diminished that the department was disbanded.  Its several functions were taken over by other AFSCME departments.

 

These papers solely reflect the department's concerns with women's issues, sex discrimination, and CLUW and other groups.
