Abstract:

Records of Local 695 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chaffeurs, Warehousemen, and Helpers of America, headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, and created through the merger of several southern Wisconsin locals in 1962, representing truck drivers as well as workers in warehouses, canneries, bakeries, laundries, dairies, and stone quarries. Relations with employers is particularly well-documented and information on the employment of women and migrant workers in canneries and dairies is present. The records contain information on a lengthy strike at Wisco Hardware Company during the 1950s, conflicts in the stone quarries at Lannon, Wisconsin in the 1960s, jurisdictional conflicts with Local 200 in Milwaukee, interactions with other Teamster bodies such as the Central Conference and various Joint Councils, and the leadership of longtime secretary-treasurer Al Mueller.
