The New Yorkers at Work Oral History Collection is an ongoing series of interviews conducted primarily by the staff of New
York University's Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives since 1979 as a part of the Archives' work of documenting the history of
labor in the metropolitan area. The largest group of interviews were collected for the New Yorkers at Work: Oral Histories
of Life, Labor, and Industry Curriculum Project. With a 1980 grant from the New York Council for the Humanities, about 150
interviews were conducted with workers and union activists in industries representative of the city's economy. Eight documentary
radio programs were produced from these interviews for broadcast over National Public Radio. Other interviews were conducted
by archives staff to augment archival and manuscript collections; a few others were donated by researchers or students. The
most extensive of these was a series of 15 interviews conducted by SUNY Old Westbury labor studies students of Professor Joe
Harris, many of them with Long Island labor leaders.
The collection consists of oral history interviews broadly representative of 20th century New York City working and union
experiences. Topics represented include the impact of labor-saving construction techniques on the building trades; immigrant
labor; CIO organization; the role of the Left in the labor movement and the impact of the expulsion of communist-dominated
unions in 1949; public employee collective bargaining and the Fiscal Crisis of 1974-75; clerical organizing; new technology
and its impact on printers and longshoremen; and the quest for economic opportunity by minorities and women. Use of some of
the interviews is restricted. Transcripts or indexes exist for some of the tapes.
Notable interviewees include: Harry Avrutin, Brenda Berkman, Peter J. Brennan, Philip A. Carey, Charles Cogen, Edward J. Cleary,
Sam Dolgoff, Ralph Fasanella, Abram Flaxer, Harry Fleischman, Philoine Fried, Dolores Huerta, Theodore Woodrow Kheel, Kitty
Krupat, Josie McMillian, Joyce Miller, Pauline Newman, Lillian Roberts, Cleveland L. Robinson, Joe Stack, Leon Sverdlove,
and Belle Zeller.
