| Abstract: |
The Civil Service Technical Guild (American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees, Local 375) was organized in 1937. It represents engineers, architects,
chemists, and technical inspectors employed by the City of New York; employees of
various City departments are organized into separate chapters, each with its own officers.
The Guild has fought against "farming out" of city contracts to private firms, has
won expanded benefits for its members, has opposed political patronage in hiring and
has supported reform of the City's Civil Service examination and job classification
systems. This comprehensive collection of union records was donated by former Guild
presidents, Philip Brueck, Alexander Lurkis, Joseph Collins and Louis Albano, as well
as by individual Guild members.
