On February 10, Teamster Education Department representatives met with the director of the Walter P. Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs to learn about resources available from the library and ways in which the union can connect to the programs it sponsors.

The library, which is named in honor of former United Auto Workers President Walter P. Reuther, is home to the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs—one of the largest and finest labor archives in the world. It houses more than 20,000 books, journals and union publications; more than two million photographs; and more than 26,000 sound recordings and moving images.

Teamsters are encouraged to visit the Walter Reuther Archives of Labor during their travels to Detroit.
