Work Stoppages Series Scope and Content Note

The information in this series concerns strikes, slowdowns, sickouts, and related ways and means bargaining employees protested against the company. Departments in the Pueblo Plant and local unions related to the railroad are represented in this series. The series spans 1945 to 1990, the majority of the unionized period. By the 1940s, CF&I had shut down most of the mines, so the preponderance of records in this group relate to USWA strikes at the Pueblo steel mill. All of the major (and many minor) strikes are documented, including the lengthy and bitter strikes of 1949 and 1959. This series includes correspondence, memoranda, hearings, grievances, activity summaries, notices of hearings, personnel complaints, employee lists of eligible workers, union negotiations and plans, proposed pay adjustments and newspaper clippings.
