Abstract:
Records, mainly 1934-1956, of a Milwaukee local that represented employees of the Slocum Hat Company, many of whom were women. The local was formed in 1934 as Local 51 and re-chartered in 1936 as Local 50. Included are minutes; agreements; correspondence with employers, Alex Rose and other officers of the International Union, local members, and officials of the National Labor Relations Board and the Wisconsin Employment Relations Board; membership applications and cards; and documents concerning a 1942 arbitration and strikes during the 1930s and the 1950s. In addition, the collection includes a set of index cards that refer to an attempt to organize the employees of the Reliable Knitting Company in 1968. A few photographs document strikes and general union activities.
