The Classified Staff Association (CSA) was established in 1980 by Kacey Cooper and others to address various issues raised by classified staff at Washington State University. The issues addressed by this association included, among others, emergency pay in the face of closures, poor communication, and clear definitions on job descriptions put out by the University. In late 1982, CSA merged with the Washington Federation of State Employees Local 1066 chapter.
This collection consists of records from the Washington State University Classified Staff Association, from 1974-1982. Papers include correspondence, pamphlets, reports, and memoranda. Memoranda from various employee unions are also included.
Materials were left primarily in the chronological order in which they were received, though some reorganization was done. Some material dates may overlap as reorganizing them risked losing context while adding minimal research value.
This collection is open and available for research use.
Copyright restrictions may apply.
