In 1956, when UE District 4 joined the International Union of Electrical Workers (IEU), Local 1227 received a new charter as Local 477 IUE. In 1959 it merged with Local 431. Contents include a charter dated 1937, a UE GEB decision relating to membership and rights and privileges, and executive board minutes of Local 1227 from 1941.
