Spring Campaign, 1985

The collection documents various projects, initiatives, and efforts of the Ohio-Kentucky Region. One such example is the involvement in the spring campaign to roll back apparel and textile imports from 1985. The records include correspondence, work done to push through legislation, the organization of demonstrations for import regulations, and collaboration with the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union (ACTWU), particularly Cleveland's participation in the activities. There are also notes, articles, instructions, and publicity regarding the "price watch" campaign to record prices and any changes in prices for items in stores week after week. Other such programs documented included the retraining program for laid off workers through the United Labor Agency in Cleveland.



The remainder of the collection consists of local newsletters including the "Sew it Seams," "Ohio Kentucky News" and "The Ohio Sew Biz," as well as minutes, clippings, and news and action items as they relate to Ohio and local affairs.
