Abstract Since the United Automobile Workers of America (UAW) was established as an affiliate of the American Federation of Labor (AFL) in August 1935, the union has maintained an office to deal with public relations. At that time, a "Committee on Publication" was formed, which became the "Publication Committee" in April 1936. The Committee subsequently became the "Publicity Department" in August 1936, when the UAW became an independent union affiliated with the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). This became the UAW's Public Relations Department some years later. The primary purpose of the original Committees and Department was the production of the union's national newspaper, the United Automobile Worker, which became Solidarity in 1957. Over the years, as the UAW grew into a large, powerful union, the P.R. department played an increasingly important role in writing speeches and producing various publications. It also generated large numbers of photographic images, created television advertisements, and issued press releases, delivering the union’s official stance on nearly all issues. In recent years, the P.R. Department has also been responsible for maintaining the union’s social media presence. The collection consists of Audio-Visual material, including photographic prints and contact sheets, videotapes, and audio recordings. Important Subjects: Boycotts--United States. Child labor.

  • Our Union Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class Series Editors: Ingo Schmidt and Jeff Taylor
    Our Union Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class Series editors: Ingo Schmidt and Jeff Taylor Capital is dead labor. Karl Marx Fabriks: Studies in the Working Class provides a broad-based forum for labour studies research. Of particular interest are works that challenge familiar national and institutional narratives, focusing instead on gender-based, occupational, racial, and regional divisions among workers and on strategies for fostering working-class solidarity. The series also seeks to resurrect both social class analysis and the view of labour movements as a potentially liberating social force. It invites contributions not only from labour historians but from indus- trial relations scholars, political scientists, economists, sociologists and social movement theorists, and anyone else whose concerns lie with the history and organization of labour, its philosophical underpinnings, and the struggle for economic and social justice.

  • WSU University Relations Division Records
    University Relations Division Collection Papers, 1936-1977 (predominantly, 1949-1977) 64.5 linear feet Accession # 5 OCLC # DALNET # The papers of the University Relations Division reflect the activities of Wayne’s public relations offices. They consist of press releases, photographs, correspondence, minutes, reports, and clippings. The papers focus on general subjects, including the promotion of the United States Bicentennial, Wayne's Centennial, the Michigan Legislature's allocation and Wayne's budget, and Wayne's athletics program. The Division underwent several name changes to more accurately reflect its services. In the 1940s it was called the Community Relations Program and aimed to establish a working relationship between the University and any group or individual within the community with the intent of selling the University as a service institution to the community. In August of 1949, all University activities and programs related to public communication and interpretation of the University’s work were integrated to form the Division of Community Relations under the direction of Percival Dodge. The new division included the Office of Press Relations, Wayne University Speakers’ Bureau, and the Office of Community Services. William E. Stirton replaced Dodge as the director on July 1, 1952. Frank X. Tuohey replaced Stirton in October of 1955. The Office of Press Relations and Publication Services, under Tuohey’s direction, assisted all units of the University in internal and external relations projects. The office was divided into art, printing, publications, and press relations. The primary function of the Office of Press Relations was to interpret the University to the community through all available media such as newspapers, magazines, radio and television.
