The street cleaners first organized under the Teamsters. The affiliation did not last and the cleaners were briefly organized under the city. The new city run union soon ran into problems, and after striking the union joined the State, County and Municipal Employees under the AF of L and became Local 222. McEntee discusses his position at Local 222 as a Business Agent and later as President of District Council 3.  He discusses the rate of growth of the Council in the 1940’s. McEntee recalls his relationship and experiences working with International President Arnold Zander and the highlights of his experiences with the Council and the Union. McEntee retired in 1968, he shares his union involvement and life after retirement.</text>

                <text>Dr. Joseph Mire was an economist and the first Education and Research Director of the AFSCME from 1943-1955. Dr. Mire was born and raised in Vienna, Austria and was active in the European labor movement. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1941 and taught economics at the School for Workers in Madison, WI. In 1943 Arnold Zander hired Dr. Mire as an economist/educator/researcher for the AFSCME. Dr. Mire compares the European labor movement to the American movement. He discusses the differences in labor education, research services, and political and social involvement in the labor movement. Dr. Mire left the AFSCME in 1955 to become the Director of the National Institute of Labor Education.</text>
