Series IV: Huck/Konopacki Labor Cartoons Records

Scope and Content Note

Series 4 contains the files for the Huck/Konopacki Labor Cartoons and mostly relate to the subscriptions and syndication of this collborative business. These records were primarily compiled by Mike Konopacki and reflect many of his individual projects and interests. Of particular interest is the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local P-9 Hormel strike of 1985-86 in Austin, Minnesota and the A.E. Staley Allied Industrial Workers Local 837 workers lockout of 1993. Konopacki produced a weekly newsletter for locked out Staley workers entitled the War Zone Report.

This series also includes projects and artwork created for advertising leaflets, local union actitivies, published and unpublished manuscripts, and campaigns. Series 4 is arranged alphabetically and then by date.
