Series consists of files on Jackson's UE career, including correspondence, memoranda, reports, minutes, organizing and publicity material, collective agreements, notebooks, radio scripts, press clippings, educational material, and other documents relating to the Canadian UE, Jackson's presidency, and his role in the broader labour movement. The files relate to such topics as organization, negotiations and collective bargaining, education, research, UE local unions, the unemployed workers' movement in Ontario in the 1930s, Shop Stewards' Councils, and relations with other labour organizations (local, national, and international).

Inlcuded in horizontal storage: various charters from inactive Locals, 1943-1967, containers 34 to 37; broadsheet "Who is Telling the Truth?", [1963], container 39; reprint of "How a Conservative New England Analyses Issues in the UE Fight", from the Berkshire Evening Eagle, 1949, container 38.

Arrangement note:

The files are organized into seven broadly chronological groups according to major phases of the union's evolution: Birth of the UE (1936-1939); War Years I (1939-1941); War Years II (1942-1945); Cold War I (1946-1949); Cold War II (1950-1973); the period after affiliation with the CLC to Jackson's retirement (1974-1980); and the period after Jackson's 1980 retirement. There is occasionally some overlap.
