Tape-recorded oral interviews conducted with Textile Workers Union of America leaders by James A. Cavanaugh of the Wisconsin Historical Society staff, documenting the origins, growth, and decline of the TWUA, internal disputes, relations with other unions, and organizing drives. The interviews document textile unionism prior to the formation of the TWUA, as well as discussing major strikes and gains made through collective bargaining. Specific references are made to organizing activities in Illinois, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Also present are recorded speeches and music from a reunion of TWUA activists and staff in 1984; included is a speech by Alexander E. Barkan and textile labor songs by Joe Glazer.
