Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Stulberg General Secretary-Treasurer records consist primarily of correspondence dealing with union managerial matters during Stulberg's term in office, though there is also some correspondence from his tenure as executive vice-president (April 1956-May 1959), as well as a small amount (ca. 1 linear foot) of personal correspondence in the collection.

Among the most significant topics are: civil rights (including materials on the 1963 March on Washington); collective bargaining agreements with other unions (custodial and clerical workers' unions); health care (including Medstore plan for prescription drug discounts to union health members); housing for garment workers in New York City; locals, regional departments, and joint boards of the ILGWU throughout the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico; relations with the AFL-CIO; retirement funds; union administrative matters; union conventions; union involvement in politics in New York City and New York State; and workers' compensation.

Significant individuals in the collection include Morris Bialis, Sol Chaikin, David Dubinsky, Herbert Lehman, Elias Lieberman, James Lipsig, Jennie Matyas, Norman Thomas, and Gus Tyler.

Notable organizations represented in the collection are the AFL-CIO Industrial Union Dept., the Liberal Party of New York, the ILGWU Union Health Center, and Unity House (the ILGWU resort).
