1Title:  Service Employees International Union, Natural Gas Workers Union Local 555     
 Creator:  Natural Gas Workers' Union, Local 555 
 Dates:  1963-1978 
 Abstract:  Local 555 of the Service Employees International Union, Natural Gas Workers' Union, was a trade-union organized in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1937 to represent employees of East Ohio Gas Company and led initially by Francis O'Rourke, and later, by John Nagle and William J. McCarthy. It became affiliated with the Building Service Employees' International Union in 1962, now known as the Service Employees International Union. In 1990 the local had a membership of 1,850. The collection consists of correspondence, constitutions, labor agreements, annual reports, newsletters, newspaper clippings, and publications. The collection primarily relates to the East Ohio Gas Company, including Ohio Public Utilities Commission hearings on rate increase requests and service cutbacks during the 1970s energy crisis. There is minimal material dealing directly with union business, but the collection does include some items on organizing tactics and strike procedures issued by the international union.
