Abstract:
Papers of Tom Lux, a former officer of A.O. Smith Steelworkers Local 19806 and former chairman of the Rank and File Action Committee and co-editor of Rank and File News. While serving on the Nominating Committee of Local 19806, Lux, along with Jim Siesenopp, was removed from office on a charge of having been members of the Communist Party. The papers consist of records of the negotiating committee, newsletters and memos of the Rank and File Action Committee, and correspondence, notes, and court documents relating to the lawsuit brought by Lux and Siesenopp against the Union. Also included is a sound recording of an interview of Lux conducted by Mike Heard in 1974 discussing the involvement and impact of the Rank and File Caucus.
