Abstract:

Records of a group founded in 1949 to promote industrial democracy in the trade union movement and to secure the equality of women within labor unions. Specific activities included obtaining a medical health plan, securing equal rights in industry and government, and supporting local unions on strike, which are illustrated by files of correspondence, minutes, financial and membership records, conference reports and notes, and printed material. The League disbanded in 1956.
