Reports, 1947-1977
Scope and Content Note: Thirty-four volumes of research reports compiled by the TWUA Research Department. Included are charts, graphs, fact sheets, reports, surveys, guidelines, outlines, letters, statements, and miscellany which provide a rich source of raw data on the textile industry and unionization. The bulk of the material focuses on the TWUA although information on the rival UTW is also included. Most of the reports document conditions in the United States; smaller files also exist for the Canadian and Latin American textile situation. Among topics discussed are efforts to organize the industry with specific mention of the difficulties encountered in Southern areas; elections, agreements and strikes; economic conditions and trends in specific textile industries; plant migration; and health and occupational safety issues. Most volumes or sections of a volume begin with an index which details its contents. Unless noted otherwise, the frame numbers listed in the container list mark the location of these indices. The reports are organized into nine sub-units and within each sub-unit or volume they are numbered and filed in a roughly reverse chronological sequence.
