Abstract:

Collection consists of oral history interviews with administrators and workers at the Patrick Cudahy meatpacking plant in Cudahy, Wisconsin who were on strike from 1987 to 1989. Dr. Michael Gordon at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee conducted the interviews in 1994. For each interviewee there is a cassette recording and abstract of the interview. The topics discussed include family background; job history at Patrick Cudahy; working conditions; attitudes towards the company, the strike, and scab labor; and how the strike lasted for two years. Of particular interest for details about the financial and working conditions of the plant, and strike strategies are the interviews with Cudahy President Roger Kapella, Director of Human Resources Daniel Habighorst, and United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local P-40 President Mark Rosenbaum.
