Between 1933 and 1957, 1199 functioned as a drugstore local with its membership growing
to 5,000 workers employed in independent and chain drugstores throughout the New York
metropolitan area. With its success in organizing workers in Montefiore Hospital in
New York City, the union began a massive campaign to organize workers in voluntary
and non-profit hospitals in the New York area, a large proportion of whom were black
or Hispanic.
In 1973, the national union was established with locals in other states, including
Pennsylvania, Maryland, South and North Carolina, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.
The union combined organizing efforts with civil rights organizations, in an effort
to achieve mutual political goals. Throughout the period of these records, the union
was led by Leon Davis (president of Local 1199 and of the national union) whose administration
guided the union's political and social activities.
