      abstract = {This collection consists of two full series and one  partial series from the Records of the United Garment  Workers of America--Series I: Time and Motion Studies;  Series III: Office Files, 1899-1994--Meeting Minutes of the  General Executive Board subseries; and, Series VIII: Index  Card Files for plants and/or locals in. The Time and Motion  Studies are made up of time study/ time and motion research  files for the garment industry, as well as files relating  to industry research and information from the first half of  the twentieth century. The minutes from the early period  cover issues such as immigration, sick benefits, and  nine-hour work days; those from the 1950s are concerned  partly with the trial and ultimate dismissal of Board  member Joseph Crispino; and those from the latter period  contain issues such as the financial struggles and the loss  of membership. The overwhelming majority of the Series VIII  index card files comprise information on various plants and  union locals. These are in alphabetical order by city (with  a few exceptions) and contain information about the locals,  manufacturers, wages, garments, and efforts to organize  locals in those cities.},
