Scope and Content Note

This file consists of the Employer File of the Research Division of the TWOC and the TWUA. It is arranged alphabetically by employer and chronologically thereunder. (Me-Z are missing). It includes research on firms which were in existence during the above period.

In the file are reports prepared by the Research Division on the financial condition, wage scale, and working conditions of the respective firms; articles, clippings, and published material from newspapers, magazines, and the individual firms on financial, labor, and general subjects; briefs and judgements before the American Arbitration Association and the National Wage Stabilization Board; and correspondence between the local unions and the Research Division about firms within the local unions' jurisdiction.

The file consists of papers which relate to all areas of union interest, including organizing, membership, union elections, contract negotiations, strikes, arbitration, and governmental intervention, with emphasis on wages, working and living conditions, health and retirement, compensation, and productivity. There are also tabulations of raw data on the above subjects. The file differs from other Research Division files in that it contains all the research collected regarding individual companies rather than only reports to various committees of the union, governmental agencies, and outside organizations.

There is information throughout the file about wartime wages, prices, and productivity; individual firms' conceptions of themselves and their relationship with their workers; and proceedings before governmental arbitration and regulatory agencies.
