UAW Region 9A Labor History Event at the the Tamiment Library

Many of the UAW Locals in NYC have a proud history dating back to the 1930's when industrial unionism built a strong presence combining militant tactics, anti-racist politics, and wall-to-wall organizing.  This history is not lost to us but still preserved in the archives of these locals and their leaders through photographs, documents, correspondence and more, much of which can be found in NYU's Tamiment Library, which holds rich collections relating to labor and social history, the history of the Left, the place of workers in American society, and the evolution of labor law.

Join us on Tuesday, March 31, from 5:30 to 6:30 PM at the Tamiment Library (70 Washington Square South, New York, NY, 10012) to explore some of our Region’s labor history through the archives left by the NYC UAW locals and local leaders that came before us from the 1930's to present day! We will be guided by NYU Librarian Susan McElrath.

Some of the archives we hope to take a look at include records covering ALAA - UAW Local 2325, LSSA - UAW Local 2320, UAW Local 259, UAW Local 2110 campaigns at NYU GSOC, MoMA, and more, District 65, and other UAW historical records.
