Hudson Valley Area Joint Board, Records, 1947, 1950-89
Contains minutes (1957-69, 1984), correspondence (1961-64, 1968, 1971), and leaflets (1967-71). Missing from this series are most minutes from 1970 to 1989, which could not be found before microfilming began on this manuscript group.
Contains correspondence, leaflets and contracts relating to the joint board's attempts to organize workers in its jurisdiction. In those cases where the joint board was also raiding other unions, those unions are named parenthetically. If the organizing attempt was successful, a "See" reference to the joint board local is included.
Contains correspondence, newspaper clippings and legal documents relating to the work of the international representative of TWUA working out of the Hudson Valley Area Joint Board. The work of the representative included organizing shops, and the work was centered primarily in Fulton County, N.Y.
Contains contracts (1938-75) and correspondence (1970-75) relating to the work of an Assistant State Director of TWUA working out of the Hudson Valley Area Joint Board. The director's work took place between 1970 and 1975; earlier files are reference files used by the director when organizing plants or negotiating with companies. Most of the director's work took place in Utica and Oneida County, N.Y.
Contains by-laws (1958-68, 1976-82), contracts (1953-88), arbitration documents (1954-79, 1987), correspondence (1954-59, 1964-65, 1973), and minutes (1951-78, 1984) pertaining to the locals managed by the joint board. Some of the minutes in these records were kept by the individual locals and then transferred to the joint board, but the majority of the records were kept by the board as it managed the locals' affairs.
Contains constitution and by-laws (1952, 1956, 1958) and minutes (1952-58). These are the official records of this council and had been kept first by the Columbia County Joint Board before the existence of the Hudson Valley Area Joint Board.
Contains constitution and by-laws (1963) and minutes (1960, 1962-65). The minutes for the early 1960's were maintained by the Hudson Valley Area Joint Board.
Amsterdam Joint Board, Records, 1948-81
Contains the 1955 charter and minutes, 1964-74. The whereabouts of the earlier minutes is unknown, and in the the Amsterdam Joint Board merged into the Hudson Valley Area Joint Board
Contains by-laws (1948, 1956, 1959-60, 1976-77), charters (1955), arbitration documents (1952, 1956, 1960, 1963, 1966-68), contracts (1957-76), and minutes (1947-51, 1966-81) of the six locals affiliated with the Amsterdam Joint Board: Locals 1, 489, 646, 835, 856, and 1761. Although this joint Board merged into the Hudson Valley Area Joint Board in 197??, the minutes of Local 489 have been retained with these records through 1981 instead of being kept with the records of the Hudson Valley Area Joint Board.
Capital District Joint Board, Records, 1919-20, 1940-41, 1943, 1946-65
Contains by-laws (1946), correspondence (1950-52, 1954), minutes (1947-53), lists of officers in the joint board and its affiliated locals (1956-60) and organizing leaflets (1953, 1962-64). Also included are minutes of the meetings of the Labor-Management Committee of the Troy Community Chest (1952) and of legislative meetings held by the textile workers and other unions (1965). Also included are constitutions of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and the Textile Workers Union of America (TWUA).
Contains leaflets, correspondence and newspaper clippings related to attempts by the Capital District Joint Board to organize textile mills in the capital district. Most prominent are the Sealy Mattress Company (1965-66) and the Star Woolen Company (1947, 1953-54).
Contains charters (1955), arbitration documents (1952, 1957-60), by-laws (1950-51, 1959), contracts (1947-64), correspondence (1948-57), and minutes (1943-65) of eleven locals affiliated with the joint board. Most of the records appear to have been administered by the joint board, but some of the minutes were obviously originals kept by the local unions and turned over to the joint board.
Contains minutes (1948-56) and correspondence (1957-60) of the Troy Area Industrial Union Council. The manager of the Capital District Joint Board was also the president of this council and retained these records with the records of the joint board. The Troy Area Industrial Union Council merged with the Troy Federation of Labor around 1960 to form the Troy Area Labor Council, AFL-CIO. See records of that council (1969-89) for later documentation of labor cooperation in the Troy area.
Columbia County Joint Board, Records, 1938-57
Contains by-laws (1950-52), minutes (1948-57), reports of the joint board (1947-49) and a scrapbook (1938-39, 1941, 1945-51).
Contains by-laws (1943, 1950), contracts (1940-41, 1944-57) and minutes (1944-48, 1951-57) of eight local unions affiliated with the joint board.
Mid-Hudson Valley Joint Board, Records, 1944-56
Contains minutes (1950, 1952-56), organizing leaflets (1949-56), reports of the joint board manager (1949, 1953, 1955), and pamphlets from the international union (1946-58).
Contains correspondence and leaflets related to attempts by the Mid-Hudson Valley Joint Board to organize shops in its jurisdiction. In cases where the organizing was also a raid against rival unions, those unions are included after the name of the company within parentheses.
Contains by-laws (1946, 1950-53), contracts (1948-57), minutes (1950-53), and arbitration documents (1948-52) of local unions affiliated with the joint board. These files were kept by the joint board as a way to manage the business of its locals.
