Assorted AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) pamphlets and other materials distributed by the AFL Dept. of Education in Charleston, West Virginia, between 1949 and 1956.

Collection also contains newsletters and other labor materials related to the West Virginia State Federation of Labor and state right-to-work laws, including 1955 meeting minutes of the Kanawha Valley Central Labor Union and that union's "We Do Not Patronize" list of businesses that do not employ union members.
