Records, mainly 1939-1977, of the Associated Unions of America (AUA), a labor organization which was formed in 1939 as the Wisconsin Association of Independent Unions and which eventually represented factory and office workers in independent company unions throughout the the midwest; AUA, whose members included a large proportion of women, became part of the Office and Professional Employees International Union in 1972. Most extensively documented are locals comprised of office and professional employees of Bucyrus-Erie, Cutler-Hammer, Four Wheel Drive Auto Company, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, and the Old Line Life Insurance Company, although some files concern factory workers employed by companies such as Appleton Coated Paper Company. Several files concern labor activities at Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company prior to the formation of AUA. The union's bulletin, AUA Report, is available on microfilm in the Society Library.

Biography/History
The origins of the Associated Unions of America lie in efforts made during the 1930s by Wisconsin labor activists to strengthen and ensure the rights of workers in independent, company unions. Leading this effort was Donald F. Cameron, an employee of the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company who was secretary of the Power Plant Labor Adjustment Committee of the Employee Mutual Benefit Association, one of the first comprehensive company unions in Milwaukee. In 1934 the Milwaukee Federated Trades Council attempted to organize the company's employees; the company responded by firing the union activists and refusing to comply with an NLRB ruling that the fired workers be reinstated. The employees then initiated a strike. Although only four days in duration, the strike was marked by demonstrations, the hiring of the Berghoff Detective Agency to conduct strike-breaking activities, property damage, and the accidental death of one demonstrator. After Mayor Daniel Hoan condemned management's activities, the company capitulated, granting full recognition to the union.
Work as secretary of the Power Plant Labor Adjustment Committee in one of Milwaukee's strongest company unions undoubtedly politicized Cameron. Although his activities between 1934 and 1938 are not documented in the papers, it is likely that Cameron began work on his own to promote and strengthen the rights of independent unions.
In November 1939 he was active in the formation of the Wisconsin Association of Independent Unions (WAIU). These company unions had come together earlier in that year in order to oppose proposed changes in the Wisconsin Labor Relations Act. Although unsuccessful in this purpose, an association of company unions for the exchange of information and statistical data relative to wage and salary scales, union agreements, industrial earnings, cost of living, and labor and social legislation seemed advisable. Membership in WAIU was open to any bona fide independent union organized to bargain collectively, that was unaffiliated with any other state or national body, and that could demonstrate that it was free of company domination. Because of the general suspicion of company unions by organized labor, throughout its history WAIA and later AUA was anxious to prove its independence.
Donald Cameron was elected president of WAIA, but there were no full time paid staff, and not until 1940 was a permanent office opened. Delegates of member unions met quarterly. Some of the first independent unions to affiliate with WAIA represented production, maintenance, and other workers in the Lake Mills Shoe Workers Union, Milwaukee County Independent Petroleum Workers, Coating Mill Workers Union of Wisconsin, and the Northwestern National Employees Association. During 1940 membership numbered about 2,000 active workers and about 3,000 observers.
In 1941 members attending voted to change the name of the association to Associated Unions of America (AUA) in order to accommodate groups outside Wisconsin who had expressed interest in joining the organization. The word independent was dropped because it was felt that the member unions were no longer truly independent after they joined the association. The AUA subsequently adopted the functioning policies of the WAIU in their constitution and by-laws. Donald Cameron was elected national secretary of AUA. In 1945 a new constitution was adopted and member unions became known as locals of AUA.
In 1942 the New Idea Independent Union affiliated with the AUA to become the first local in Illinois, and by the mid-1950s AUA had over 5,550 members in eighteen locals in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana. These locals included workers in insurance companies, shoe factories, machine shops, metal industries, paper mills, oil industries, and offices. The largest local represented approximately 1,000 members at the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (Local 35) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Locals consisting of 500 members or more were located at the First Wisconsin Bank (Local 25), and Cutler-Hammer (Local 5), both in Milwaukee.
Nevertheless, Cameron was apparently dissatisfied with AUA's difficulty in recruiting independent unions outside the Midwest. A national organization was necessary, he believed, if it was to be powerful enough to act as a voice in national affairs, affect legislation, and secure representation on governmental agencies. In an effort to compete with the AFL and CIO and to change the perception that independent unions were necessarily company-dominated, Cameron and others established the Confederated Unions of America based in Chicago. He became the secretary-treasurer of the CUA, terminating his position with the AUA although still maintaining an influence over its activities. In 1942 AUA affilited with CUA. Many other independent unions followed suit, and by 1943 CUA represented independent unions in twelve states. Convinced that CUA had acquired a solid base, Cameron left CUA in 1945 and once again became active in AUA.
On first examination, AUA appears to resemble a typical union of its era, one that represented semi-skilled, male workers. However, a closer look at both the membership and AUA contracts reveals that in many cases it represented organized office and clerical workers such as its members at Cutler-Hammer (Local 5), Adams and Westlake (Local 55), Four Wheel Drive Auto (Local 15), Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (Local 35), and Northwestern National Insurance Company (Local 45). In some instances AUA negotiators attempted to bring part-time clerical workers into the bargaining unit, although this issue was never adamantly pressed by union officials.
Another unique aspect of AUA was the high percentage of women it represented. At the Old Line Life Insurance Company (Local 65) ninety percent of the local consisted of women. Women represented eighty percent of the membership at the Fox River Valley Knitting Company (Local 7) and fifty to sixty-six percent at Cutler-Hammer (Local 5), First Wisconsin National Bank (Local 25), Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance (Local 35), Northwestern National Insurance Company (Local 45), Adams and Westlake (Local 55), Four Wheel Drive Auto (Local 15), and Lake Mills Shoe Company (Local 1).
Although AUA officials sought to establish harmonious relations with employers, they also pressed for competitive wages, enhanced benefits, and the creation of pension plans. These activities inevitably led to strikes. The onset of the 1950s marked the beginning of a wave of strikes throughout AUA. First to go out was Local 65 representing employees of the Old Line Life Insurance Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Shortly after affiliating with the AUA, union members at Old Line Life had voted to strike over the issue of wages. Although the largely-female local gained support from area CIO locals, the company eventually prevailed, and no union has since been able to organize workers at the company. In 1953 union employees at the Appleton Coated Paper Company (Local 16) voted to strike. Workers at Weis Manufacturing Company (Local 95) struck in 1959, as did workers at MEFCO (Local 9). Other AUA strikes included Henry Weis Manufacturing (Local 49), Sloane Valve Company (Local 10), and Aviation Corporation (Local 29). In most cases arbitration was necessary to settle the disputes.
By the late 1960s and early 1970s AUA officers had began to discuss the issue of AUA's existence as an independent union. Early in 1971 it became apparent that the union's survival was threatened after Local 10 (Sloane Valve Company) voted to affiliated with the United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO. After this loss, AUA officials began to seriously consider affiliation with an international although AUA's desire to find an international union with a compatible dues structure and per capita tax which would protect the service of their membership deterred a merger. In 1972 the AUA affiliated with the Office and Professional Employees International Union. After affiliation, AUA was designated as Local 500 of the international and AUA's locals became chapters. In 1978 Local 500 ceased to exist as an intermediate entity in the OPEIU structure, and the Milwaukee office was closed.
Scope and Content Note
The records of the Associated Unions of America came to the Society via Donald Cameron over a thirteen year period dating from 1965 to the closing of the Milwaukee office. The records include virtually all of the records kept in that office as well as files acquired from inactive locals and some files representing Donald Cameron's other involvement in the labor movement in the Midwest such as his activity in the Employees Mutual Benefit Association of the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company and the Confederated Unions of America.
Although the records largely concern unions in Wisconsin, the collection is of more general interest because of the rare documentation which it contains
concerning company unions and because of its large number of female and white-collar members. Given the composition of its membership, AUA's history was also unusually strike-prone.
The collection is arranged as three series: records of the Wisconsin Associated Independent Unions, internal administrative records of AUA, and records pertaining to AUA locals. Included are constitutions and by-laws; minutes; correspondence; membership records; financial records; contract negotiation, arbitration and strike files; subject files concerning organizing efforts; statistical data; and clippings. Files of the AUA Report are available on microfilm in the Society Library.
Records of the WISCONSIN ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT UNIONS (WAIU), only a small portion of the collection, date from 1940 to 1941 and include policy statements and proposed amendments, minutes, correspondence, financial reports and miscellany.
The AUA INTERNAL RECORDS, only about fifteen percent of the collection, are arranged as administrative records and an alphabetical subject file.
The administrative records include constitutions, amendments and revisions; correspondence; financial records; and records of AUA's governing bodies, the National Board of Representatives, the General Executive Board, the Policy and Steering Committee, and the Strike Fund Committee. Records of the National Board of Representatives and the General Executive Board are similar in format and informational content. Each contains minutes and correspondence, while the NBR records also includes some miscellaneous material. Both NBR and GEB minutes contain discussions on the status of each local, general union finances, and organizing efforts. The correspondence here includes a large number of form letters sent to NBR and GEB delegates. The Policy and Steering Committee records include minutes, reports, and correspondence, all concerning the direction and progress of organizing work. Strike Fund Committee records consist of a single folder documenting AUA's strategy in developing a strike benefit fund. Included are minutes and sample strike clauses found in the constitutions of several other unions.
National correspondence of a more general administrative character covers the period 1939-1975 and includes exchanges with AUA staff, locals, outside unions, National Representative Carl Van Tilburg, and the Wisconsin Industrial Commission. The correspondence with AUA locals and the inter-office letters deal with issues ranging from proper ventilation in union offices to collective bargaining tactics. The file on Van Tilburg contains candid discussion of organizing tactics, the future of AUA locals, competition from outside unions, and other topics.
Financial records include correspondence, annual examination of accouts, annual and monthly reports, correspondence and miscellany.
The alphabetically-arranged subject files concern Cameron's early organizing work and variously include correspondence, legal briefs and documents, and newspaper clippings. Of special note are the records of the Power Plant Labor Adjustment Committee of the Employee Mutual Benefit Association (with some items dating to 1926) of which Cameron was secretary before his involvement with WAIA and AUA.
LOCAL RECORDS are arranged numerically by local number and include information on twenty-four locals. These records include files maintained in AUA headquarters on the activities of locals, together with the records of inactive locals transferred to the central office. These records generally cover the period 1939 to 1978; they variously include by-laws, minutes, correspondence, membership records, financial records, contract negotiations, and subject files. In many cases, correspondence and contract negotiation material was grouped together at the union office along with minutes of labor-management bargaining meetings, seniority lists, membership lists, wage rate statistics, and contracts. Many of the files reflect the dominating concern of AUA headquarters with contract negotiations. Most extensively documented are locals comprised of office and professional employees of Bucyrus-Erie, Cutler-Hammer, Four Wheel Drive Auto Company, Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, and the Old Line Life Insurance Company, although some files concern factory workers employed by companies such as Appleton Coated Paper Company. Photographs show supporters on the picket line and other activities during a strike against the Old Line Life Insurance Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1950.
