Subseries: File 17A: Organizers Weekly Reports,
1953-19555 reels of microfilm (35 mm) The Textile Workers Union of America requested that the weekly expense reports of
organizers be destroyed. In order to comply with this request, while preserving the
organizers' weekly activity reports which were on the back of the expense reports,
the activity reports were microfilmed, and the original sheets destroyed. These are reports submitted by individual organizers of the Textile Workers Union,
showing the activities in which they were engaged each day of the week immediately
preceding the date of the report. At the local level these activities included
attendance at local union meetings; contacting employees or organizing campaigns and
finding local leaders; addressing mass meetings of employees; negotiating with
employers for recognition of the union; printing and distributing leaflets;
organizing plant elections; and investigating shop problems. Activities also included contract negotiations; supervision of strike votes; picket
line activity; strike strategy meetings; and sometimes going to court. Other
reported activities were arbitration hearings; National Labor Relations Board
hearings; legislative hearings; meetings with state industrial commissions; meetings
with senators and congressmen about legislation following passage of the
Taft-Hartley Act; and attendance at union or political conventions. About twenty per cent of the reports received were microfilmed before destruction.
Selection was made on the basis of completeness of the reports, location of the
organizer's activities, and the type of activities. In a few cases it was necessary
to retain reports which were only fair, because it was necessary to show that there
was organizing activity in an area. Presumably the activities of the organizers were
much the same, but some of them submitted more complete reports. While these are
detailed daily reports, they do not always indicate the initial or terminal dates of
a project, or whether it was successful.
