The International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union was once one of the largest labor
unions in the United States founded in 1900 by local union delegates representing
about 2,000 members in cities in the northeastern United States. It was one of the
first U.S. Unions to have a membership consisting of mostly females, and it played
a key role in the labor history of the 1920s and 1930s. The union is generally referred
to as the "ILGWU" or the "ILG". The ILGWU grew in geographical scope, membership size,
and political influence to become one of the most powerful forces in American organized
labor by mid-century. Representing workers in the women's garment industry, the ILGWU
worked to improve working and living conditions of its members through collective
bargaining agreements, training programs, health care facilities, cooperative housing,
educational opportunities, and other efforts. The ILGWU merged with the Amalgamated
Clothing and Textile Workers Union in 1995 to form the Union of Needle trades, Industrial
and Textile Employees (UNITE). UNITE merged with the Hotel Employees and Restaurant
Employees Union (HERE) in 2004 to create a new union known as UNITE HERE. The two
unions that formed UNITE in 1995 represented only 250,000 workers between them, down
from the ILGWU's peak membership of 450,000 in 1969.
The White Goods Workers' Union Local 62, also known as the Underwear and White Goods
Workers Union, was chartered in 1909, but was not fully organized until 1913. Rose
Schneiderman and the Women's Trade Union League assisted with the early organizing
efforts of the White Goods Workers. These workers consisted mainly of young immigrant
girls. Early leaders of the local included Samuel Shore. On March 1913, 15,000 workers
went on strike against the sweatshop conditions. A six week strike ensued in which
many of the girls on the picket lines were attacked and arrested. Gains won included
a 54 hour week, no Sunday, sanitary conditions and an 18 cent an hour minimum wage.
This strike made the local.
The local and its workers were originally called white goods workers as they manufactured
camisoles, chemises, cambric drawers with lace ruffles and drawstrings, and corset
covers. Through the years, styles changed and production shifted to panties and slips.
In the 1960s, the local became the Undergarment and Negligee Workers' Union Local
62.
The Local 62 correspondence consists primarily of letters of Samuel Shore and Louis
Stulberg, the managers of the Local during much of the period. These items primarily
document the activities and concerns of the Local's leadership from the depression
years through the 1960s. The bulk of the material deals with Local administrative
matters, benefits, garment manufacturers, other ILGWU departments and locals, political
activity (at both the national and local level), relations with other unions, union
organizing, wages, and working conditions in the shops. It is mostly restricted to
New York City. In addition, there is some personal correspondence of both Shore and
Stulberg.
The first series contains the correspondence of Samuel Shore, manager of Local 62.
Topics discussed include parade and demonstration fliers, calls for local elections
and polling place locations, final decisions of cases that went to arbitration with
the Impartial Chairman, and correspondence with various ILGWU Departments (Education,
Health and Welfare), presidents office (David Dubinsky), and Joint Boards and District
Councils and Locals. Mixed in are meeting minutes for committees. There are also records
documenting the social causes the local was involved with, particularly the children
"adopted" by the local in Europe in which they supported and sent money as well as
exchanging letters with the children. Information on individual shops can be found
in the reports from the Business Agents in which they report on cases, disputes, and
conditions. Reports are identified by Business Agent. Historical information can be
found in the articles and speeches of Shore. There are photographs of the Local 62
outing to Unity House.
The second series contains the correspondence of Louis Stulberg, who became manager
of Local 62 in 1947. Though, much of his correspondence and work as manager can be
found in the first series though. Correspondence occurs with organizations and associations,
departments (Education, Auditing, Health and Welfare, Legal, Research, Management
Engineering, Union Label ), and includes administrative information (dues, finances,
elections). There is much correspondence with firms, and the files are identified
by shop name, these often include agreements, arbitration cases. Some of the material
contained in the files are from when Stulberg was no longer with the local.
The third series consists of files from Gerel Rubien, who was the Education Director.
Of particular importance is the collection of "Our Union" newsletters and scrapbooks
that contain clippings on the garment industry, and more particularly the lingerie
and negligee industry and white goods, some from as early as the 1913 strike, as well
as the 1933 strike, early agreements, a photograph from 1921, and a collection of
speeches.
Individual correspondents represented in the collection include: David Dubinsky;
Jacob Javits; Elias Lieberman; Eleanor Roosevelt; Franklin D. Roosevelt; Rose Schneiderman;
Matthew Schoenwald; and Norman Thomas. Organizations include: the AFL-CIO; the American
Labor Party; Histadrut; the Jewish Daily Forward; the Jewish Labor Committee; the
Liberal Party of New York; the Negro Labor Committee; the National Recovery Administration;
the Rand School of Social Research; and the Socialist Party.
