- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents of the Metro Atlanta Labor Union Relations Committee, an initiative of the Atlanta Labor Council intended to improve connections between labor leaders and union members following a series of wildcat strikes in the Atlanta area. Contents include correspondence describing the origins of the Committee, lists of members, and organizational charts.
The records, 1964-1979, of the Southern Office of the AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department consist primarily of correspondence and related reports, surveys, statements, and newspaper clippings. Much of the correspondence is between Director E.T. (Al) Kehrer and various AFL-CIO departments, notably his superiors Don Slaiman (1965-1974) and William Pollard (1974-1979). There is also substantial correspondence between Kehrer and the AFL-CIO state and city labor councils in the South; apprenticeship and training programs; a wide range of groups and persons concerned with community action and social reform issues, principally in the field of civil rights; and political figures. - External Identifiers:
