Description
This subgroup of the Education and Publicity Department Record Group contains correspondence, scripts, film, tapes, and other non-print media produced by the UE. These may include locally produced items that the national office collected for research or national office productions. The materials in this subgroup provide an overview of how the UE interacted with the public and union members through film and radio programming. Film and video regarding labor issues such as sexism, automation, and workers rights indicate how the UE informed union members of problems they were facing. Audio reels and videos also record activity at several UE National Conventions. There is a lot of content overlap between formats and series in this subgroup. Several film shorts, such as "Free Riding Rufus," "Keeping Up with the Van Jones," and "Sister UE Goes to Washington" are present in both U-Matic and reel to reel formats. Film and audio regarding Arthur Gaeth is found in the film and audio series., Records of the radio broadcasts and films of the United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America (UE), 1941-2002, UE 8-2, Archives Service Center, University of Pittsburgh., Gift of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, 1986, 1997, and 2004., The United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America (UE) Education Department is designed to educate members and workers about the union and labor issues. In addition to producing several publications throughout the year, the Education Department is responsible for the creation of informational films. In the past, the department produced radio programs that provided commentary on world events and labor issues. These programs were successful but, like many of the union's efforts during the 1950s, fell victim to budget cuts as the UE battled the CIO's International Union of Electrical Workers (IUE) for members. Film was also acquired by the Research Department of the UE. Informational film produced by other unions and organizations about union committees and labor issues were kept for educational and research purposes. Footage of UE National Conventions and local events were also maintained by the union for future reference., Finding aid Available in repository and on Internet; Materials regarding renowned radio journalist Arthur Gaeth are processed to the folder level, otherwise material is processed to the series and box levels; http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/f/findaid/findaid-idx?type=simple;c=ascead;view=text;subview=outline;didno=US-PPiU-ue82
