Provenance
In October, 1965, Rutgers University received the Records of the International Union of Electrical,
Radio and Machine Workers, AFL-CIO (IUE), in accordance with the agreement between the IUE and the
University Library designating Rutgers as the official repository for the archives of the union.
The first accession group of IUE Archives contained approximately 495 linear feet of material and
was transferred to Rutgers in the original office transfiles formerly stored at the union's
international headquarters in Washington, D.C. These transfiles contained records and documents
generated and collected by IUE President James B. Carey and other union officers, the various IUE
Departments and their heads, and the constituent district offices and local unions from 1949 (the
inception of the union) to 1962.
The records of the Secretary-Treasurer's Office, comprising 64.00 linear feet, constitute one
subgroup within Record Group I of the IUE Archives. Files contained therein were generated and
maintained by the IUE's first Secretary-Treasurer, Albin Hartnett (1949-1962) and his principal
staff members Rodger Coyne (Director for Organization and Administrative Assistant), Joseph Swire
(Director of Health and Pension Programs), and Richard Bauer (Comptroller). Hartnett's office
records and filing system initially formed the core and organizational model for the IUE's central
office files. This artificial central filing system, however, was not maintained or organized along
sound archival or records management standards. Subsequent accessions of the IUE archive revealed
that Hartnett's files within the central office files represented a large but incomplete portion of
the material accumulated by the Secretary-Treasurer's Office during his years in office. Upon
transfer of the records to Rutgers University, Archivist William Miller and his staff merged and
reintegrated other Hartnett material and records generated by subsidiary personnel and departments
affiliated with the Secretary-Treasurer's Office. Hartnett's Conference Board & Negotiations files,
which had been previously splintered from the main body of his files, were subsequently
reintegrated in conjunction with this processing project.
Arrangement, processing, and description of the records of the Secretary-Treasurer's Office-Record
Group I, IUE Archives, was initiated and completed in 1993 after the Special Collections and
Archives Department of the Rutgers University Library received a grant from the National Historical
Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) and additional financial support from the International
Union of Electronic, Electrical, Salaried, Machine & Furniture Workers, AFL-CIO.
Administrative History
The Secretary-Treasurer's Office was formally established at the second annual convention of the
International Union of Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers (IUE) on 4 December 1950. Upon
recommendation of the IUE Administrative Committee (which governed union affairs until ratification
of the constitution), delegates unanimously adopted Article VII of the constitution which
specifically outlined the duties of the office:
The Secretary-Treasurer shall keep all records of the Executive Board and of the Conventions of the
Union. He shall receive, receipt, deposit and account for all monies, and pay all bills of the
Union; furnish all supplies pertaining to the union; issue all credentials; give bonds satisfactory
to the Executive Board; and perform all such duties as may be deemed necessary to a proper and
effective administration of the financial affairs of the Union.
Subject to the overriding authority of the Convention and Executive Board, the Secretary-Treasurer
serves under the direction of the IUE President and is empowered to "perform such duties, in
addition to those specified ... as may be prescribed to him by the Executive Board or the
President." The Secretary-Treasurer maintains a permanent seat on the union's Executive Board.
The Secretary-Treasurer's office essentially functions as the administrative apparatus of the IUE
international office, executing the policies of the Executive Board and President and monitoring
compliance by the constituent local and district councils. It maintains the union's central office
files, including all correspondence between the national office and IUE district officers and local
unions. Financial records regarding the payment of per capita taxes and dues are maintained by the
Secretary-Treasurer's staff. Working with the IUE comptroller, the Secretary-Treasurer maintains
central control over union expenses, vouchers, and salaries of the international officers,
department heads, staff, and field representatives. This office has control over the issuance of
local union charters and reviews all district and local union constitutions and by-laws for
approval.
At the same constitutional convention, delegates elected Albin (Al) Hartnett as the union's first
Secretary-Treasurer. Hartnett had served as a staff assistant to CIO Secretary-Treasurer, James B.
Carey, subsequent to the latter's ascendancy to the IUE presidency.
Upon assuming office, Hartnett faced the difficult task of consolidating organization gains and
fleshing out the unions's administrative bureaucracy--comptroller's department, district offices
and officers, field representatives, organizers, business agents--which serviced the 300,000
members of the IUE. His office also had chief responsibility for directing and financing the IUE's
organization activities. Though its rank-and-file membership had swelled during the period 1949-
1951, the IUE was financially strapped due to the mounting legal expenses associated with its
struggle with the UE. Hartnett and his staff cautiously struck a balance between maintaining the
IUE organizational impetus yet checking undue extravagance. To achieve sound fiscal administration
of the union's operating budget and accounting system, Hartnett appointed Richard Bauer as the
IUE's first Comptroller. Bauer held the position during the 1950's and his tenure enhanced the
IUE's reputation as one of most efficiently managed and corrupt-free union treasuries in the labor
movement.
The union made significant organizing gains during Hartnett's tenure as Secretary-Treasurer,
winning several major NLRB representation elections and negotiating favorable contracts with the
major electrical "chains" (GE, Westinghouse and Sylvania) and major independents such as Philco. As
a leader in the CIO's Southern organization drive the IUE gained a foothold in several southern
states--winning key elections at GE's Anniston, Alabama plant and the Singer Manufacturing Company
at Anderson, South Carolina. Rodger Coyne (Hartnett's personal assistant and Director for
Organizing Campaigns) and the constituent IUE Conference Board chairmen spearheaded the drive for
organizing the "runaway shops" of the South and Southwest and expanded the union's organizing
efforts into Canada and Puerto Rico. Substantial membership gains were achieved in the burgeoning
lamp, tube, and television industries. The union's creation of a Radio, T.V. & Parts Conference
Board brought this important industrial segment (55,000 IUE members) under the umbrella of its
collective bargaining program. Adapting to the changing nature of the electrical, electronics, and
machinery industries and their respective labor forces, the IUE expanded its membership base to
include white collar engineers and technicians, and professional and salaried workers. By 1960
membership totals had advanced to an all-time high of 400,000.
Hartnett's office also coordinated the activities of the union's pioneering collective-bargaining
apparatus--the Conference Boards and Occupational Councils representing locals within the major
chains and the skilled, salaried and white-collar occupational groups. On the collective bargaining
front, the IUE made substantial gains in the following areas: securing higher wages with built-in
escalator clauses (cost of living adjustments); elimination of gender and regional wage
differentials; implementation of stable and financially solvent health, pension, and insurance
plans; union shop arrangements; employment security programs (i.e. guaranteed annual wage and
supplemental unemployment benefits); refinement of grievance and arbitration procedures; and the
formation of joint committees to evaluate job classification and wage incentive plans. Joseph Swire
assumed responsibility for administering the union's health, pension and insurance programs and
coordinating Conference Board negotiations on these issues. Swire drafted contract language and
provisions governing health care and retirement and analyzed proposed contracts to monitor
compliance with national office standards. He also reported to Hartnett, Carey, and other
department heads on current trends and developments in the field. Though the union's demand for
non-contributory pension plans (employer-financed plans) met with entrenched managerial resistance,
the IUE refined its benefits programs with the objective of employers assuming a greater
proportionate share of the funding.
In addition to his immediate fiscal and administrative duties, Hartnett represented the IUE before
congressional committees and government agencies. He also served on numerous AFL-CIO administrative
committees, and on the advisory boards of many civic, political action, and voluntary
organizations. These appointments represented the expanding nature of the Secretary-Treasurer's
Office and the degree which President Carey delegated executive authority to Hartnett. Hartnett and
his staff (in conjunction with the IUE Legislative Department) administered the collection and
distribution of union Political Action Committee (PAC) monies and orchestrated IUE political fund-
raising activities within the framework of the CIO-PAC and AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education
(COPE).
Appointed by the IUE Executive Board to chair the IUE Civil Rights and Fair Employment Practices
Committee, Hartnett mandated the establishment of civil rights committees at the district and local
levels, monitored local union contracts for the inclusion of non-discrimination clauses, and
sponsored civil rights and human relations conferences to educate the IUE membership. This
committee worked jointly with prominent national civil rights organizations to sponsor major civil
rights legislation and conferences. These activities reflected the full range and scope of
Hartnett's responsibilities as IUE Secretary-Treasurer during the 1950's.
Scope and Content
The IUE Secretary-Treasurer's Office subgroup contains 64.00 linear feet of historical records
documenting the administrative evolution of the office and the legacy of the union's first
Secretary-Treasurer, Albin Hartnett (1949 to 1962). This subgroup yields important evidential
information on the functioning of the office and its operations during the formative decade of the
IUE's existence. Ranking second to the President's Office in order of importance and influence, the
Secretary-Treasurer's Office and its records provide the most comprehensive and authoritative
source for studying the institutional history of the IUE. Virtually every facet of the union's
fiscal, membership, and organizational affairs was administered by Secretary-Treasurer Hartnett and
his staff. The Secretary-Treasurer's Office functioned as the vital nexus between the international
headquarters and the local unions, with administrative assistants, field representatives, and
business agents occupying key roles in servicing the needs of the rank-and-file membership.
Moreover, the office had principal responsibility for preserving the official records and
proceedings of the Executive Board and all IUE Conventions.
Consisting largely of Hartnett's central office files and the subsidiary files of important
administrative assistants and directors--Rodger Coyne (Director of Organization), Joseph Swire
(Health, Pension, and Insurance Director), and Richard Bauer (Comptroller)--the records of the
Secretary-Treasurer's Office are organized into twelve distinct series. For the most part they
reflect the functions of the office and the scope of activities performed by the principal
generators of the records. Included are: Hartnett's General Files; General Correspondence Files;
District Files; Executive Board Proceedings; Field Representatives Correspondence; Inter-Office
Memoranda; Mimeographed Letter Files; Organizing Campaign and Research Files of Assistant Rodger
Coyne; Political Action Committee Files; General Files of Comptroller Richard Bauer; General Files
of Joseph Swire, Director of Pension, Health, and Welfare Department; and Hartnett's Conference
Board and Negotiations Files.
Hartnett's general office and correspondence files are the best sources for documenting the
institutional history of the IUE and its relationship with the major labor federations (CIO and
AFL-CIO), their constituent departments, federal and state agencies, and various national
organizations committed to legislative action on progressive causes. As Secretary-Treasurer,
Hartnett served as Chairman of the IUE Civil Rights Committee and directed many of the IUE's
community development programs. His general files contain educational conference proceedings,
speeches and addresses, publications, and reports pertaining to civil rights, fair employment
practices, human relations, and various social and political action programs. Coordination of the
IUE and AFL-CIO's political education programs and campaign fund-raising efforts are amply
documented in the AFL-CIO Committee On Political Education (COPE) files. The general files also
served as central office research and reference files and demonstrate the administrative complexity
and wide scope of the office and its functions.
Hartnett's correspondence, inter-office memoranda, and mimeographed letter files document his close
working relationship with President Carey, IUE staff assistants (particularly Rodger Coyne), and
other IUE department heads. Dating from 1951-1957, the bulk of the general correspondence files
documents the routine administrative and fiscal chores which Hartnett performed. In many respects
the Secretary-Treasurer's Office served as the union's clearinghouse for incoming correspondence to
the President--much of it pertaining to business solicitations, requests for publications and
information, and sporadic grievance letters from disenchanted rank and file members. Hartnett's
office answered a considerable amount of the correspondence addressed to Carey and assisted in
planning and arranging the IUE president's travel schedule and appearances. Hartnett also
represented the union and its chief before government agencies and congressional hearings and
panels.
Inter-office and staff memoranda is interspersed throughout Hartnett's correspondence files and
supplemented by a larger self-contained series which dates from 1949 to 59. Besides chronicling
daily administrative affairs, the memoranda cover such subjects as: the allocation of resources
(financial and staff) for organization campaigns and elections; staff assignments and appointments;
jurisdictional disputes: and the disaffiliation of UE locals. This series contains Hartnett's
outgoing and incoming memoranda, including memos generated by his chief administrative aides,
Rodger Coyne and Richard Bauer. A large portion pertains to per capita dues collection, the
disbursement of union funds, PAC contributions, the status of organizing campaigns, and
arrangements for chartering and administering new locals. The General Files of Comptroller Richard
Bauer contain supplemental records documenting the IUE's fiscal administration of local union
affairs--chiefly per capita payment reports, voucher and supply forms, invoices, and mailing lists.
The bureaucratic relationship between the international headquarters, its affiliated district
offices, and network of field representatives is amply documented in two series: District Files and
Field Representatives Correspondence. Sources contained therein (correspondence, memoranda, minutes
of district council meetings, organization and certification election reports, demographic and
research data on unorganized plants) provide first-hand information regarding the IUE's
organization infrastructure and strategy in conducting regional (Southern) and local campaigns.
Though the District Files only cover the period up to 1956, they do contain source material on PAC
activity, the IUE-UE struggle for control of Local 301 at GE Schenectady, and conditions in
District 6 (Pittsburgh) during the national Westinghouse Strike, 1955-1956. Accounts of strikes,
handling of strike-relief efforts, allocation of resources, and the jurisdictional rivalry with the
UE figure predominately in reports and correspondence filed by IUE Field representatives. The Field
Representatives series chronicles the conditions and hardships experienced by IUE organizers--
especially women--in their efforts to sustain the morale of workers during organizing campaigns and
strikes. Their correspondence files offer a revealing social history of the lives of organizers who
experienced constant uprooting and mobility on the job, low pay, and harassment from management.
This series is more voluminous than the district files and encapsulates the grass-roots issues
involved in local strikes.
Rodger Coyne's Organizing Campaign and Research Files, 1950-1963, is a
supplementary series documenting IUE organizing activities and NLRB representation elections at the
local plant level. To some degree this series overlaps with the Publicity Files For Organizing
Campaigns series contained in the IUE Publicity Department Subgroup, RG-1. The bulk of Coyne's
files consist of publicity material generated in conjunction with IUE organizing campaigns. Anti-
union publications and literature are included. A small amount of organization-related
correspondence, NLRB election petitions, and press clippings comprise the research component of the
series. Training manuals and educational conference material on organization provide a glimpse of
the IUE training program for its field representatives and organizers.
Coordination of the IUE's collective bargaining programs and Conference Board activities are amply
documented in the records of the Secretary-Treasurer's Office. Hartnett's Conference Board &
Negotiations Files contain chronologically-ordered minutes, proceedings, and reports of the GE,
Westinghouse, and Sylvania Conference Boards and their respective Negotiating Committees dating
from 1951-1960. However, there are gaps between years which can be complemented by consulting the
larger IUE Conference Board & Negotiations subgroup in RG-1. Hartnett's files, however, contain
additional documentation on the IUE Lamp Workers Conferences, Radio, T.V. and Parts Conference
Board, and Professional, Technical, and Salaried Workers Conference Board. Transcripts of
negotiating sessions with the major chain corporations are included but incomplete for certain
years. Coverage of such major strikes as the Westinghouse Chain Strike of 1955-1956 and the
Sylvania strike (Local 744) at Shawnee, Oklahoma (1952) is extensive. This series also constitutes
an important source for analyzing the union's Step Four grievance system operating at Sylvania
Local 608, Huntington, West Virginia. There are extensive grievance petition and case files
Deposited within the Sylvania Conference Board Files are extensive grievance petition and case
files spanning the years 1951-1956.
The Secretary-Treasurer's Office subgroup contains minutes of IUE Executive Board meetings for the
years 1951-1957, and incomplete IUE Convention material covering 1954 and 1956. The IUE President's
Office subgroup- RG-1, contains more comprehensive Executive Board and convention records and
proceedings.

1952-1958, 16.65 LN. FT.
Arranged alphabetically by topical heading, material thereunder filed chronologically
Administrative office files created and maintained by IUE Secretary-Treasurer, Al Hartnett. File
contents reflect the diverse executive and administrative responsibilities Hartnett and his staff
handled for IUE President James B. Carey and various IUE, CIO, and AFL-CIO departments and
committees. Hartnett also served as Chairman of the IUE Civil Rights Committee and represented
Carey and the union on the advisory boards and executive councils of civic and voluntary
organizations. The bulk of the series documents Hartnett's activities with the IUE-CIO Civil Rights
Committee, IUE-CIO COPE, the Community Services Department-CIO, and the CIO Department of Education
and Research. Hartnett also maintained company correspondence files, IUE and AFL convention
material, and correspondence pertaining to the IUE's labor education programs and Summer institutes
at colleges and universities--including Rutgers University.
Items include Hartnett's and Carey's incoming and outgoing correspondence and memoranda (some
generated by Hartnett's assistant, Rodger Coyne); reports, newsletters, press releases, brochures,
circulars, and publications generated by IUE, CIO, and AFL-CIO departments and committees; IUE and
AFL convention proceedings and resolutions (1954 and 1957 respectively); and financial records
relating to the collection and disbursement of IUE PAC funds for campaign contributions. Hartnett's
IUE Civil Rights Committee files include minutes of meetings, agendas, reports, typescript speeches
and conference proceedings. Company correspondence files maintained by Hartnett cover such subjects
as certification elections, strikes, negotiations and collective bargaining agreements, and
organizing campaigns for the period 1950-1956. These files also include Carey's correspondence to
corporate managers, urging immediate recognition of the IUE jurisdictional claim in the electrical
industry over the UE during the period 1949-1951.

2. GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE FILES , Date Span: 1949-1958, 1.35 LN. FT.
Arranged Chronologically
Consists of outgoing and incoming correspondence and memoranda generated and received by
IUE Secretary-Treasurer, Albin (Al) Hartnett, President James B. Carey, and Rodger Coyne, Assistant to Hartnett and
Director of Organizing Campaigns. Much of the correspondence pertains to Hartnett's performance of the
routine administrative functions associated with his office. As Secretary-Treasurer, he answered a
substantial portion of the general and miscellaneous correspondence addressed to Carey--schedules and
appointments, conference and meeting arrangements, activities with civic and political action organizations,
requests for publications, information, and business solicitations. In addition, this series contains many
letters from rank and file IUE members requesting action on various grievances and support for organization
drives and representation elections at the local level.
Memoranda generated by Hartnett and Coyne to Carey and other international officers contain information on
the allocation of financial resources and staff for local and regional organizing campaigns. The memoranda
highlight the problems the IUE encountered in its jurisdictional struggle with the UE. A few reports,
incorporated into the body of the memoranda, analyze conditions at various UE locals and assess the
probability of their disaffiliation. They include, in some instances, an analysis of certification election
results and reasons for the success and failure of IUE organizing campaigns. The union's problem with
frequent raids by such AFL affiliates as the International Association of Machinists (IAM) and International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) is also documented. Hartnett also kept Carey informed of
factionalism within various IUE locals.

District office correspondence files maintained by IUE Secretary-Treasurer, Al Hartnett, documenting the
bureaucratic relationship between his office and the network of district officers, field directors and
representatives, and organizers comprising the IUE administrative hierarchy at the regional level. Records
within the series illustrate how the union established its regional organization structure, allocated its
financial resources, staff, and field representatives for organizing campaigns, and supervised the activities
of its constituent local unions. District officers and field directors were responsible for maintaining the
vital bureaucratic link between the national office and local unions.
The bulk of the series consists of outgoing and incoming correspondence which Hartnett and Carey generated
and received from IUE district presidents, field directors, and international representatives. Minutes of
district council conferences, district executive board meetings, organization reports, lists and research
material on unorganized plants, and memoranda relating to PAC contributions, are also contained in Hartnett's
district office files. These files include a small amount of organizing campaign literature and ephemera.
Much correspondence is devoted to the status of ongoing organization campaigns and analyses of certification
election results, jurisdictional strife, and strike activities within the respective districts. Letters from
district presidents and field directors provide detailed reports on the progress of current campaigns and
elections at local plants, and include requests for additional organizers, staff, and financial support. The
union's struggle with the UE in the critical period, 1949-1952 is well-chronicled in the District 3 files
(including Local 301, Schenectady, NY), District 5 (the Canadian GE campaign in Peterbourough, Ontario), and
District 6 (Westinghouse, Pittsburgh). The correspondence files reflect how Carey and Hartnett played an
integral role in targeting potential plants for organization and coordinating strike-relief efforts. The
IUE's contribution to larger CIO-sponsored regional organization campaigns is also documented in the district
office files of Hartnett. In addition to these subjects, the files contain routine administrative
correspondence pertaining to staff appointments, the collection of delinquent per capita tax payments by
local unions, and the approval of district and local union charters, constitutions, and by-laws.

5. FIELD REPRESENTATIVES CORRESPONDENCE FILES , Date Span: 1949–1959, 7.80 LN. FT.
Grouped alphabetically by correspondent and arranged chronologically by date of letter.
Through its assigned field representatives, the IUE Secretary-Treasurer's office directed the union's
organization campaigns at the local level, assisted local union officers in collective bargaining and
contract negotiations, the drafting of constitutions and by-laws, and maintained the vital link between the
IUE national office and the local unions. This series consists primarily of outgoing and incoming
correspondence sent and received by IUE field representatives, which include organization and activities
reports filed with the IUE Secretary-Treasurer's Office. Principal correspondents include Hartnett, Carey,
and Rodger Coyne. The field representatives' files also contain leaflets and other publicity material used in
conjunction with organization campaigns.
This series documents the daily work of IUE field representatives and highlights IUE grass-roots organizing
efforts: establishing contacts within unorganized plants and locals held by other unions, visiting the homes
of workers, drafting and distributing organization leaflets, filing petitions for certification elections and
a myriad of other duties. Organization and activities reports provide detailed information on the anti-union
environment within plants and cities, and jurisdictional problems which field representatives experienced in
performing their tasks. Beside organizing activities, the reports chronicle the many services which
representatives provided for locals within their district. They conducted meetings with local union officers,
shop stewards, and grievance committees, assisted prospective locals in filing for certification election
petitions and unfair labor practice charges before the National Labor Relations Board, and guided locals
through strikes and contract negotiations with management. The series is especially rich in providing a
social history of the hardships confronted by female union field representatives and organizers.

6. ORGANIZING CAMPAIGN AND RESEARCH FILES OF ASSISTANT RODGER COYNE , Date Span: 1950–1963, 11.80 LN. FT.
Grouped in two main sequences: organizing campaign files arranged alphabetically by corporate name, and, a
smaller group comprising general research files arranged alphabetically by topic.
Publicity material, press clippings, mimeographed and lithographed handbills, circulars, and anti-union
employer bulletins and newsletters documenting IUE organizing activities and union election campaigns from
1950-1962. These items were collected and filed by Rodger Coyne and Andrew Bennett (Assistants to the
Secretary-Treasurer), both who coordinated IUE organizational work and campaigns. The campaign files include
a small amount of organization-related correspondence from field representatives to Hartnett, Carey, Coyne,
and Bennett which analyze organization strategy and NLRB certification election results. NLRB petitions and
election documents are interspersed throughout the files.
In addition there is a small grouping of organization-related research and education files compiled by
Coyne's office for use in planning IUE organization drives. Included in the files are clippings covering the
issue of Communism and disaffiliation, organization reports from Coyne to Hartnett, and election results and
analyses. Training manuals and a variety of educational literature provide evidential information on the
union's programs for training organizers and educating the membership with respect to organizing and
collective bargaining techniques. The extensive memoranda files pertaining to IUE elections (1952-1958)
contain valuable tabulated information on plant location, size of membership and collective bargaining unit,
other contesting unions involved, and election results.
