| This topical Labor Collection was assembled from many sources over a long period at the Oregon Historical Society Research Library. Consisting primarily of ephemera and published material, it provides episodic documentation of labor unions and other related organizations, including industry, pro-union and anti-union groups, and government agencies. Union materials include those produced by national unions and by union locals, with the local materials coming primarily from Oregon and Washington. The collection includes significant materials on the splits, fights, and ultimate amalgamation of trade unions and industrial unions in the AFL-CIO. |
