Abstract:
Records of the Kenosha Teachers Union, a local founded in 1938 to represent public school teachers in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Included are constitutions and bylaws, minutes, correspondence, membership records, financial miscellany, publicity materials including microfilmed clippings and runs of The Kenosha Teacher and The Rambler, and files on legal actions brought before the Wisconsin Employment Relations Board primarily deriving from the local's loss in a special 1965 election of a bargaining representative. In addition, there are incomplete meeting minutes of the Kenosha AFL-CIO Council and its predecessor, the Kenosha Trades and Labor Council, and copies of the Kenosha Educational Association Bulletin. Photographs include images of union members.
