This subgroup contains materials collected from the national conventions of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE). These conventions were held annually from 1936 to 2003 and are now held biannually. Although material exists for many of the conventions, there is not as much documentation regarding meetings held from 1936 to 1938 and from 1950 to 1955. The material in this subgroup most strongly represents conventions from 1939 to 1949. The records from this period document both the original resolutions and amendments submitted by the locals to the convention, as well as the versions of these amendments ratified to the UE constitution. In addition, there are forms completed by each local stating whether or not they have accepted the amendments. Another important segment of information during these years are lists of convention committees and the participating delegates. The 1949 material also includes the Convention Appeals Committee proceedings from the cases of Albert Fineman and Viola and James Pascoe. Also present are copies of the UE constitution and by-laws which were amended at each convention.
