UAW Region 2 was organized in
1939 with jurisdiction over locals in northeastern Ohio and northwestern
Pennsylvania. By the late sixties,
Region 2 had 70,000 members, nearly 50,000 of whom were in the Cleveland area,
site of the regional headquarters.
The records of UAW Region 2 consist of correspondence, minutes, clippings, newsletters, reports, financial records, wage data, grievances, and contracts. Most of the files pertain to the relations between UAW locals and companies in the region; a few relate to civic and labor programs in the Cleveland area.
