The papers of the UAW Bendix Department were placed in the Archives of Labor History and Urban Affairs in October of 1977.

Workers of the Corporation - specifically those of Federal Labor Union No. 18347, AFL, later to become UAW-CIO Local No. 9 of South Bend, Indiana - were involved in the organization and the development of what was to become the United Automobile, Aircraft and Agricultural Implement Workers from its early beginnings in 1934. With the growing strength of the new union behind them, laborers of the existing Bendix locals tried to improve their bargaining position by organizing workers in existing Bendix plants, as well as in new and acquired factories of the expanding, diversified corporation.

These early efforts of organizing were carried out under the Aircraft Department of the UAW-CIO directed by Richard Frankensteen. Since this did not seem to be entirely adequate to deal with the international corporation, the leaders of the Bendix locals began cooperating more closely. This resulted in the formation of the Bendix Council. The Council was formally recognized through Resolution Number 98, adopted by the Seventh Convention of the UAW-CIO in 1942. By 1943, Bendix was listed as one of the departments of the UAW-CIO in the report of the Secretary-Treasurer.

George Addes, Secretary-Treasurer of the International Esecutive Board, UAW-CIO, also served as director of the Bendix Department until 1947. Under the direction of Addes, the first national contract was negotiated which brought all the Bendix locals under one master agreement. A major organizing drive was also carried out in the Bendix Eclipse-Pioneer Divisio of Teterboro, New Jersey. -2- Bendix Department

Following Addes, the director of UAW Region 9, Martin Gerber, was appointed to be Bendix Department director also. The position of assistant director for the department went to William Lawson, formerly an international representative. Gerber and Lawson held their positions from 1948 to circa 1956. The papers of this period are from Lawson's files as assistant director. Organizing was again stressed in such Bendix divisions as Marshall-Eclipse of Troy, New York, Hamilton of Hamilton, Ohio and in Kansas City. A major strike was carried out in South Bend, Indiana by Local Number 9 from April to June 1949 over issues of wages and alleged company speed-up plans. Significant agreements were reached through contract negotiations, including one of the first union shop agreements in the automotive or aircraft industries in 1951. Agreements were also made for the initiation of employee pension and health insurance plans. There are only scattered miscel- lanious papers from 1952 to July 1957, leaving a gap in the documentation of the Bendix Department for those years.

International vice-president, Norman R. Matthews served as director of the Bendix Department from circa 1957 to 1961; assistant director was Ted McManus. Continual improvements of employee pension and insurance plans were pushed by the department. Pension and Supplemental Unemploy- ment Benefit (SUB) Boards of Administration, comprising of Bendix labor leaders and corporation executives were set up to provide for negotiations and interaction on a continual basis. Union recognition was established in a number of Bendix divisions and subsidaries and decertification procedures were carried out with the sale of the Bendix Division, Los Angeles, California. Papers to doxument Bendix Department activities is lacking for the years 1960-1961.

Change in the leadership of the Bendix Department took place once again circa 1962, when Ken Bannon became director and John Mando, the assistant director. The work initiated through the cooperation of Bendix locals twenty years previously, resulting in the formation of the Bendix Department, was continued through the 1960's. Contract negotiations and organizing were stressed and pursued throughout North America. Further improvements were effected in the pension and insurance plans for employees. Pension and Supplemental Unemployment Benefit (SUB) Boards of Administrations continued to meet once every month to act on applications and appeals.

The papers of the Bendix Department document the operations and evolvement of a department within the United Automobile, Aircraft and Agricultural Implement Workers, International Union, as well, as the operation of several different Bendix locals including Locals 9, 104, 153, 179, and 604. The papers also reflect in part the personalities of the department's directors and assistant directors and a number of the officers of Bendix locals. -3- Bendix Department
