It was founded in 1888 in Cuyahoga County and extended into Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties by 1950. It negotiates contracts for various locals with individual contractors and with the Carpenter Contractors' Association, the Home Builders' Association, and the Building Trades Employers' Association. The collection consists of constitutions, minutes, financial records, grievances and legal proceedings, jurisdictional disputes and decisions, election material, and correspondence. In addition to the records pertaining to the workings of the District Council, the collection includes material on the constituent locals and the Cleveland Building and Construction Trades Council, the Carpenter Contractors' Association, and the negotiations in the 1958 building trades lockout in Cleveland. | | | | Call #: | MS 4209 | | | | Extent: | 27.80 linear feet (28 containers and 2 oversize volumes) | | | | Subjects: | Carpenters District Council (Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, and Ashtabula Counties, Ohio) | Carpenters -- Ohio. | Collective bargaining -- Construction industry -- Ohio. | Industrial relations -- Ohio. | Labor -- Ohio. | Trade-unions -- Carpenters -- Ohio. | Strikes and lockouts -- Construction workers -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Ohio -- Occupations.
