State and Federal Labor Reports – Union Reports, undated

The Dayton-Miami Valley AFL-CIO Records deal with material relating to the local AFL and CIO Unions and their merger in 1959. The bulk of the material within this collection is from 1950 to 1960.

Most of the material is on the Industrial Union Council, from 1945 to 1959. It contains the constitution and charter of the union, the minutes of delegate and executive meetings, reports of the various committees, and is in general very helpful to the researcher.

The materials concerning the Dayton Central Labor Union is very scattered, most from 1955-1959. It is primarily made up of minutes and correspondence. There is nothing prior to 1954, perhaps because the AFL opposed the merging of the two groups at a local level and did not give records to the union after it merged.

Series IV contains two folders of information on the merger of the AFL-CIO at a local level.

Series V. AFL-CIO, contains meeting minutes and financial reports of the the Dayton-Miami Valley AFL-CIO from 1960-1974. Also included is information on the Lakewoods, a housing foundation for AFL-CIO senior citizens which includes minutes of meetings, plans, and financial information.
