| Abstract: |
The Utility Workers Union of America Local 1-2 represents members working in the electric,
gas, water, and nuclear industries in the New York area, with the bulk of their members
employed by ConEd. Local 1-2 evolved out of the Utility Workers Organizing Committee
(UWOC) established by the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in 1938. The
collection documents the origins of the Local and its expansion to include employees
at companies other than ConEd; elections of officers and of changes to bylaws; various
political parties within the Local, including the Justice Party, Members 1st Party,
New Directions Caucus, Administration, and the Unity Party; and the planning of strikes
and positions taken by different political parties within the Local on the strike
or possibility of the strike, as well as picket duty lists, schedules, and photographs
of demonstrations and rallies. These materials date from 1927 to 2004, with the bulk
of the materials dating from the 1960s to late 1990s.
