HISTORICAL SKETCH
| Local
101 was chartered on June 1, 1937. The Local quickly began
organizing workers in the retail department store industry in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. One of the first department stores the Local organized
was Rosenbaum's. Rosenbaum's went out of business in the late
1950's. Local 101 also organized workers employed at Frank &
Seder's department store. Unfortunately, Frank & Seder's also
went out of business. Local 101 also organized workers employed at
Kaufmann's department store. At first, Local 101 organized the
workers at Kaufmann's Warehouse and the non-selling employees in the
downtown Pittsburgh store. Later, Local 101 organized some of the
selling employees in the downtown store. Kaufmann's is one of the
two remaining department stores in downtown Pittsburgh. Their
warehouse is now located next door to Three Rivers Stadium. |
