Abstract: |
Jewel and Bernard Bellush are historians and political activists, who taught for many years at the City College of New York.
In the late 1970s, at the request of Council executive director Victor Gotbaum, they became engaged in a collaborative project
to write a history of AFSCME, District Council 37, the umbrella group for local unions representing many categories of public
employees in the city of New York. The Bellushes’ book, Union Power and New York: Victor Gotbaum and District Council 37
was published in 1984. The first part of the collection consists of correspondence, background files, interviews, flyers,
notes and drafts for the book. The second part of the collection is comprised of files on Americans for Democratic Action,
the Socialist Party, the New York Labor History Association and many other organizations in which Bernard Bellush was active
or took an interest. It also includes topical files on many political and sociological issues, and files of personal and
biographical material.

Historical/Biographical Note
Jewel Lubin Bellush, a native of Brooklyn, was born on May 20, 1924. She attended new York City public schools, including
Samuel J. Tilden High School. After a brief stay at City College, she went to the University of Wisconsin at Madison, majoring
in American history and graduating in 1946. In February 1946 she entered the graduate program in American history at Columbia
University, where she met her future husband, Bernard Bellush. She earned a masters degree, with a thesis on “Women and Abolition,”
and a Ph.D., with a dissertation on Herbert H. Lehman.
After graduate school she taught at City College (evening session) and was later appointed to a tenured position at Hunter
College, in the Political Science Department. She was also a Fulbright Professor at the University of Haifa in Israel. She
wrote, or collaborated with others on, a number of studies of political parties and urban planning. A lifelong community
activist, she continued her lecturing and political involvement after retirement.
Bernard Bellush was born in New York City on November 15, 1917 and reared in the Bronx. He also attended the public schools
of New York City and graduated from City College in 1941. He served in the army from 1942 to 1945, taking part in the landing
on Omaha Beach. After the War he earned a master’s degree in history at Columbia University, with a thesis on Eugene V. Debs,
and a Ph.D., with a dissertation on Franklin D. Roosevelt as governor of New York.
Bernard Bellush taught American history at Hunter College and then received a tenured appointment at City College, where he
served as first Chairman of the Faculty Senate. He also served as a Fulbright Professor at the University of Utrecht in the
Netherlands. He published several books in American history. His civic activism is reflected in his having served as a National
Board member of the American Veterans Committee; a city, state and national Board member of Americans for Democratic Action;
a member of the NGO Committee on Disarmament, Peace and Security; and a Board member and President of the New York Labor History
Association.
The Bellushes were married in June of 1947. It was a “mixed marriage,” as Bernie was a stalwart of the Socialist Party and
Jewel came from a Communist Party background. Political acquaintances were inclined to believe that the union would be short-lived,
but a harmonious and productive partnership spanning more than sixty years ensued. The most significant concrete evidence
of this collaboration is their jointly written book, Union Power and New York, a history of AFSCME District Council 37.
Research materials, interviews and drafts associated with that project make up the first six series of this collection. After
serving for a year as a staff member in the Education Department of District 37 in the late 1970s, Bernie Bellush returned
to teaching. At this point he was asked by DC 37 Executive Director Victor Gotbaum to write a history of the District Council.
The project quickly grew to such proportions that Bernie enlisted the help of Jewel; the couple soon retired from teaching
and devoted themselves intensively to completing the manuscript, which was finally published in 1984.
District Council 37 was chartered by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) in November
1944. At that time its membership was limited to small numbers in the NYC departments of Hospitals, Parks, Finance and Health.
Its first goals were to increase membership and to engage management in serious collective bargaining talks. Between 1950
55, city employees gained Social Security coverage, Workmen's Compensation benefits and improved pension and health benefits.
In July 1954, Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr. signed an interim order recognizing city workers' rights to organize and at the same
time setting up joint labor relations committees. A demonstration at City Hall in 1955 prompted Parks Commissioner Robert
Moses to accede to a representation election in his department, which AFSCME won overwhelmingly.
The AFL CIO merger in 1955 brought many changes to the District Council. The AFL's AFSCME eventually merged with the CIO's
Government and Civil Employees union. By 1957, the Government and Civic Employees New York Joint Board had been dissolved
and its locals affiliated with DC 37. Among the locals thus acquired were Welfare Workers, Local 371; School Lunch Local 372;
Quasi Public School Local 374 and the Civil Service Technical Guild, Local 375.
In 1958, Mayor Wagner signed Executive Order 49 giving collective bargaining rights to employee organizations representing
a majority of the employees in a bargaining unit. At about that time, a series of strikes in cultural institutions resulted
in union recognition for employees at Youth House, the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, the Bronx Zoo and the Coney Island Aquarium.
A strike of Local 983, the Motor Vehicle Operators, resulted in the first welfare fund for non uniformed city employees, and
the Council expanded its operations to service the fund. Local 372, School Lunch Employees, won bargaining rights for over
6,000 employees in 1963 and added another 6,000 in 1965. The Civil Service Technical Guild negotiated its first contract
in 1963on behalf of its 5,000 engineers and architects. By 1967, the City of New York set up an Office of Collective Bargaining;
in that year DC 37 reached a membership of 50,000. The first citywide contract was negotiated in 1968. Membership had grown
to about 125,000 by the end of the twentieth century.
In 1964, Jerry Wurf, Executive Director of DC 37 since 1947, was elected President of AFSCME. Calogeri Taibi became the Council's
new Executive Director, but served only briefly. He was succeeded by Victor Gotbaum, who retired in 1986 after a period of
dynamic growth followed by historic challenges for municipal labor during the City’s fiscal crisis of the mid-1970s. Stanley
Hill, a former president of the Social Service Employees Union (AFSCME, Local 371) and Director of the Council’s Clerical
and Administrative Division, followed Gotbaum as Executive Director. In 2002, after a period of turmoil in the Council, Lillian
Roberts, who had served as Assistant to Gotbaum, helped to organize 20,000 hospital workers, and left the Council to become
New York State Commissioner of Labor, returned to take on the position of Executive Director.

Administrative Information
Provenance
The initial donation of research files of Jewel and Bernard Bellush to the Tamiment Library/Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives
was made in the fall of 1984. The materials in this portion of the collection were compiled by Jewel and Bernard Bellush during
the writing of their published study, Union Power and New York: Victor Gotbaum and District Council 37 (Praeger, 1984). Many
of these files contain copies of materials housed in District Council 37 offices and storage facilities, to which the Bellushes
were given access. Some sensitive materials were removed by the Bellushes prior to transferring the collection to NYU.
A second donation of material, consisting of more general files of political, personal and research materials, was made by
Bernard Bellush in 2002.
