Abstract:
Records of American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Local 3271, a union local chartered in 1974 to represent Wisconsin civil service state employees in the education bargaining unit. Members included educational consultants, teachers in correctional, mental health, and physically and developmentally disabled institutions, and archivists, curators, and librarians in the classified civil service. Known as State of Wisconsin Education Professionals (SWEP) beginning in 1981, the local soon went out of existence after its members voted to affiliate with the Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC) in 1989. The collection documents the organization of the local, the initial representation elections, and the response of state employees to their newly-won right to bargain collectively, but relations with WEAC are seldom represented and there is no documentation in the collection on the final re-affiliation of the 3271 membership with that union.
