Dan Streeter Oral History

Description

Dan Streeter started in the engraving business in 1930 and joined Chicago Local 5 of the Photoengravers Union in 1936. He gives the reasons for the organization of his own particular shop and describes the organizing campaign that took place under Larry Gruber. Streeter recalls being fired from his Chicago job and moving to Michigan and finally to Los Angeles where he became president of Los Angeles Local 32P in 1946. Streeter undertakes to trace the merger between the Photoengravers and the ALA back to its beginnings in 1962. Streeter reflects on his fifty years in the labor movement, the future of the labor movement and of his own union, and the nature of his job as financial secretary of the Graphic Arts International Union.
