Abstract:

Records of the steelworkers union serving members at the Fairbanks, Morse Engine Division (Division of Colt Industries) plant in Beloit, Wisconsin, the largest United Steelworkers local in Wisconsin by the 1950s. The records include by-laws of the local union, a constitution of the Beloit Industrial Union Council, minutes (1956-1973), general administrative records, correspondence (1953-1973), contracts, election materials (1961-1970), radio scripts (1959), printed materials, and newspaper clippings (1975). Social and educational activities of the union, as well as collective bargaining with Fairbanks, Morse and other official activities, are reflected in the records. The correspondence, primarily incoming, consists mostly of form letters from national, district, state and local labor organizations, with a small proportion of general correspondence of the local union. Included are some materials about the August 1975 strike against Fairbanks, Morse, and Company.
