Hotel and Restaurant Employees and Bartenders International Union Records (Local 307) Trade union, Providence R.I. Records, 1947-1963 Size: 0.25 linear feet Catalog number: MSS 106 1 Processed by: Cindy Bendroth, July 1992 ©Rhode Island Historical Society Manuscripts Division |
Historical note:
The Hotel and Restaurant Employees Union serviced the men and women that worked at various hotels in the area, including the Sheraton, the Biltmore, Dreyfus and Narragansett Hotel. Each group seemed to have their own division meetings, as well as a larger union meeting. Not much else was found on when they were founded or how they evolved in either the minutes or the Providence Journal.
Scope and content:
The collection consists of five volumes of minutes. Some are the minutes of "sections," such as the trial board (the judicial court of the local) the waiter's section, and the service branch section, which was primarily women.
Provenance:
These records were donated in 1987 by Scott Molloy; with some additional loose papers donated in 2000 by HREBIU Local 217.
