Local 32J had been charted in 1936 and was composed largely of women building service workers. The two unions merged in 1977, and the new 32B-32J had over 46,000 members. Part I of this collection is comprised entirely of correspondence from the members of the Local to Union officers, and the Union reply. The subjects include benefits, grievance and arbitration matters, requests for employment, and a large number of letters from retired members on a variety of issues.</p> <p>Former Local 32B-32J President John J. Sweeney was elected SEIU International President in 1980, and was thus succeeded as President of Local 32B-32J in 1981 by Gus Bevona. It was the Bevona administration that generated the majority of the records in Part II. Part II primarily consists of video recordings (both U-matic and VHS) of union meetings, interviews, and events. Additionally included are materials on 32B-32J’s history and administrative publications, as well as a bound volume of materials related to the 1976 Apartment Building Agreement and proceedings between the union and Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations, Inc.</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/2858#comments Bevona, Gus Collective bargaining--Service industries Collective labor agreements--Service industries Grievance arbitration Labor unions Labor unions--Records and correspondence Retirees SEIU Service Employees International Union Sweeney, John J., 1934- Union dues Fri, 14 Nov 2008 15:15:25 -0500 ljones 2858 at https://reuther.wayne.edu
