As a local of the Drug, Hospital, and Health Care Employees Union, Local 1199 was
founded by Leon J. Davis in 1932, to organize pharmacists in New York City. Nonprofessional
hospital employees were organized starting in 1958.
Because of the large number of Black and Puerto Rican workers it sparked the first
postware Civil Rights Movement. May 8, 1959 marks the start of approximately 3500
hospital workers striking against seven large private hospitals in New York City,
the strike lasted forty-six days.
Professional and technical workes were added to the union in 1963, the same year
they won the right to collective bargaining under provisions of the state's labor
relations act. The union was granted the right to represent workers across the state
in 1965. Registered nurses became part of the union in 1973.
In 1998 the union became part of SEIU and membership went up significantly.
This collection includes photographs of Moe Foner, Leon Davis, Ossie and Ruby Dee
Davis, others such as Coretta Scott King, and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Photographs from strikes, union meetings, rallies, and miscellaneous.
