Miscellaneous papers of the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill Workers concerning the West Coast Uniform Labor Agreement, the withdrawal of west coast locals from the International Brotherhood, and subsequent litigation. The Uniform Labor Agreement was negotiated in 1934 by the Pacific Coast Association of Pulp and Paper Manufacturers and the Pacific Coast Pulp and Paper Mill Employees Association which combined locals of both the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill Workers, and the United Papermakers and Paperworkers. Within the IBPS&PMW, the Rank and File Movement for Democratic Action achieved momentum and in 1964, dissident locals withdrew from the Pacific Coast Association and formed the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers. They claimed heirship to the Uniform Labor Agreement and succeeded in taking over bargaining responsibilities after a 1964 strike. The collection documents with reports, memoranda, and minutes the operation of the Uniform Labor Agreement, 1956-1966. Briefs and other legal papers concern the suit of the two Internationals against the Western Association over ownership of funds. Also present is a “Handbook for Constitutional Reform,” issued by the Rank and File Movement in 1962, and a folder of correspondence concerning University Local #845, Cambridge, Mass.
