Local 483 is currently compiling information on the long history of collective bargaining.
Although the Union was formed in August of 1943, the first collective agreement was not in effect until February 1, 1945.
And though there has been many collective agreements since that time - five labour disputes have taken place.
A look at the Local 483 Bargaining Committees that has taken it's membership through the 65 year history
and a look at the five strikes that took place will be summarized.
If you have any information on the above or have pictures that you would be willing to lend, it would be deeply appreciated.
