- Description:
- Consists of documents related to affirmative action and employment and training programs at the Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Includes notes, news articles, employee statistics for Ingalls Shipyard, a proposal of Litton Industries to implement affirmative action programs at the Shipyard, and a proposal from the AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department to create a Human Relations Council to help manage discrimination cases for the Pascagoula Metal Trades Council. Also includes a handbook on implementing civil rights committees for local unions, published by the United Steelworkers of America.
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:
