AFL-CIO Legislation Department, Testimony

 Collection 0052-LBR-RG21-002

The AFL-CIO Department of Legislation is responsible for tracking, monitoring, and lobbying for legislation in Congress that directly affects the labor movement. This collection documents testimony and statements made primarily by officers and employees of the AFL and AFL-CIO to Senate and House committees on a variety of economic, social, and political issues. Also included is some correspondence accompanying testimony or statements. There are also a few speeches and addresses to non-governmental organizations, and fact sheets. Materials date from 1953 to 1994, although researchers interested in testimony from the year 1992, and 1995-present should contact the collection curator for more information.

For a list of people who provided testimony or statements in these records, see the external document below.
