Abstract:

Records of the Central Wisconsin District Council of Carpenters, a regional labor organization formed in 1948 that represented carpenters in Local 314 (Madison), Local 1344 (Portage), Local 1403 (Watertown), Local 2064 (Beaver Dam), Local 2246 (Fennimore), and Local 2334 (Baraboo), together with some early records of Local 314. The Madison local is documented by minutes, 1899-1944, post-World War II correspondence, signed labor agreements, and files on the Madison Housing Authority (1948-1950), the Madison Building and Construction Trades Council (1945-1950), and the People's Party of Dane County (1894-1896). The District Council records consist of signed agreements, most with Madison area employers; negotiation files; files on largely unsuccessful efforts to organize at area pre-fabricated housing firms (1975-1982); and other records.
