Silver Park Records Inc., 1960-1966

 File — Box: 3, Folder: 54

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The records consist primarily of two series of correspondence of Local 132's managers, Joel Menist and Sam Eisenberg, between 1954 and 1975. The correspondence details administrative matters within the local and contains replies to letters from members to the local office, communication with the Health and Welfare Benefits Department discussing contract agreements, and the ILGWU correspondence more or less includes memos and letters that went out from the International to the locals and departments.



Another component of the collection is correspondence with various firms and manufacturers the local dealt with. These are interesting in that they are not the normal garment shop, but instead plastic and parts manufacturers. There is information on the production of plastic as well as the shortage in the 1970s. The records offer another dimension to the garment industry by illustrating the wide range of work, companies, and productsparticularly plastics, molds and parts.



The final component of the collection includes minutes of Local 132's Executive Board and Health and Welfare Fund Board, as well as a few issues of the local's publication, Local 132 News.
