Cannery Workers, Local 146 (Napoleon, Ohio) records

A series of regular minutes spans from June, 1948 to April, 1960. These contain brief descriptions of all of the Local's activities as well as decisions made during the meetings and a recording of the voting. Minutes from the Executive Board and Stewards Meetings exist between 1959 and 1960.

Limited correspondence between the Union and the Lutz Canning Company introduces negotiations including price limitations and wage increases. Also in this folder are lists of rules for female workers.

The incoming and outgoing correspondence of Mr. Arthur Homer, secretary of the Local Union 146 for the year 1957 concerns official union business such as taxation, official forms, dues, contracts and regulations.

Financial reports cover only two years but list all of the Local's expenses.

Agreements between Local 146 and both the Lutz Canning Company and Campbell Soup detail considerations of wages, hours and conditions for limited years.

Two folders of grievance forms are predominately from workers seeking back pay or who have been laid off, but also contain a wide range of complaints.

Miscellaneous printed material includes a 1968 strike bulletin against Campbell Soup, a folder of press releases and memos from the Executive Board and a blank affidavit of nonaffiliation with the Communist Party.
