In 1928, Romualdi was editorial writer for the Italian Language Daily trade union
Newspaper "Il Mundo", jointly owned by the Italian locals of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers' Union and the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America. In 1933, be
joined the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union as a member of the Editorial
and Publicity Departments.
In July 1941, Romualdi went to Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, where as a representative
of the Free Italy Committee he directed a campaign to enlist the Italian population
in those countries to the side of the Allies. After Pearl Harbor, he joined the staff
of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, Nelson Rockefeller. Romualdi founded
the Italian-American Committee for Democratic Education with headquarters in Montevideo,
Uruguay. He also worked closely with the Committee for the Political Defense of the
Continent, whose main objective was to counteract the activities of the Nazi and Fascist
agents.
In 1943, Romualdi returned to Washington where where he worked in the labor division
of the Coordinator's office, then headed by John Herling. He joined the Office of
Strategic Services in May 1944, where he remained until April 1945, when he was assigned
to make a survey of the effects of United States policy in Europe on the large European
population in South America.
Romualdi resumed his work with the ILGWU in the fall of 1945, and was assigned by
the American Federation of Labor to establish contacts with Latin American Labor with
the view of promoting closer cooperation between the democratic trade unions of the
two continents. In this capacity, he toured Central and South America several times;
was a member of the AFL labor delegation that visited Argentina in January 1947 and
was one of the AFL delegates to the conference at Lima, Peru (in January 1948) at
which the Inter-American Confederation of Workers was organized. Later, in 1951, he
played a leading role in the organizing the Inter-American Regional Organization of
Workers (ORIT), of which he became Assistant Secretary and editor of its Inter-American
Labor Bulletin.
In March 1948, Romualdi was appointed full time Latin American representative of
the AFL. He was a member of the Joint AFL-CIO Commission that investigated labor conditions
in the Central Zone in January 1949, and was a member of the US delegation to the
conventions of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) held in
Milan, in 1951; Vienna in (1955) and Tunis in 1957.
Romualdi attended ILO conferences either as a US labor delegate or Labor advisor:
in Mexico City and Montreal in 1946; San Francisco in 1948; Montevideo in 1960 and
Buenos Aires in 1961. In August 1957 he attended the Inter-American Economic Conference
held in Buenos Aires as a labor advisor to the US delegation. He attended, also as
an advisor, the Punta del Este Conference in August 1961, at which the Alliance for
Progress was launched. Romualdi also attended various presidential inaugurations of
Latin American countries, either as a representative or a personal guest.
After the 1955 merger of the AFL and the CIO, Romualdi was named Inter-American Representative
of the new organization and Executive Secretary of the AFL-CIO Inter- American Affairs
Committee. Shortly after the establishment of the American Institute for Free Labor
Development in 1961, in which he played a leading role, Romualdi became its Executive
Director. The institute, a non-profit organization supported by labor, business and
government, trained selected young leaders from Latin American and Caribbean nations
in trade union fundamentals, the democratic process, defense tactics against infiltration
by totalitarians or racketeers and the role of unions in the community.
In September 1965, be retired from his posts with the AFL-CIO and the AIFLD to undertake
consulting work and to complete his memoirs, entitled Presidents and Peons, which
were published in 1967 by Funk and Wagnalls. Mr. Romualdi was married to the former
Miriam Blecher Friedman. Each had a son by a previous marriage. Serafino Romualdi
died in November 1967.
