Scope and Contents note

This series contains the records of two separate entities, the Cake Bakers Union Welfare Fund of Local 51 and the Local 3 Welfare and Pension Fund. With the merger of these two unions in 1973 Harry Lorber became the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for both organizations. The inequity between the two funds was the source of pre-merger negotiation and documents related to this can be found in the general files and correspondence of the early 1970s. Further information about this issue can be found in the papers of Local 51 which are located in Series VII.
