History: According to the Office of the Secretary-Treasurer s Convention Report, The International Constitution establishes the International Secretary-Treasurer as the chief financial and recording officer of AFSCME. Among the responsibilities: maintaining AFSCME s accounts, preserving the official documents of the International union and providing regular reports to the membership on the financial status of the union. Such reporting includes quarterly financial reports, annual audits and the report to the biennial Convention. The Secretary-Treasurer's Office oversees the general financial health of the international union, keeping records for its locals, councils, and the headquarters staff. The Office keeps files on council and local trusteeships and administratorships, maintains per capita dues payments by AFSCME locals and councils, issues charters to new locals, and suspends and disbands locals or councils when problems arise. The position of Secretary-Treasurer is the second most powerful in the organization after the President. Unlike AFSCME s Office of the President, the Office of the Secretary-Treasurer has seen several occupants. Tenures and office holders are as follows: : Roy Kubista 1936-July 15, 1937: David Kanes July 15, 1937-October 4, 1944: Gordon Chapman October 5, : H.Z. Collier 1948-May 1962: Gordon Chapman June : James McCormack : Gordon Chapman : Joseph Ames : William Lucy 2010-present: Lee Saunders The records in this collection come from William Lucy s 38-year tenure. 2

3 William Lucy was born November 26, 1933 in Memphis, Tennessee. He attended the University of California at Berkeley and became a civil engineer in Contra Costa, CA in 1956 where he joined AFSCME Local By 1965, he was president of his local. He caught the eye of AFSCME International president Jerry Wurf, and in 1966 Wurf invited the rising star to move to Washington, D.C. to work for the International. Lucy was Associate Director of the Legislation and Community Affairs Departments, and eventually, he became Wurf s executive assistant. In 1968, Lucy was overseeing the administratorship of AFSCME Council 77 in Detroit when he was called to Memphis to assist with the strike of sanitation workers seeking recognition of AFSCME Local Lucy provided strong leadership throughout the campaign, working with AFSCME leaders Jerry Wurf, P.J. Ciampa, and T.O. Jones, and national civil rights leaders Martin Luther King, Jr., Roy Wilkins, and Bayard Rustin. While lending support to the strikers, King was assassinated on April 4, Not long after, on April 16, 1968, the City of Memphis recognized Local 1733 and agreed to a contract with the sanitation workers. Lucy went on to work with other campaigns such as the 1970 sanitation workers strike in Atlanta. At the 1972 AFSCME biennial convention in Houston, Secretary-Treasurer Joseph Ames was elected to the newly full-time, salaried post of Judicial Panel Chairman. William Lucy was elected to fill Ames s position as AFSCME International Secretary-Treasurer, a role he would play for the next thirty-eight years. Also in 1972, William Lucy helped to found the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU), an organization devoted to representing African American workers within the labor movement. Lucy was elected president of CBTU, a position he continues to hold in This organization has worked toward improving working environments and opportunities for African Americans, and, more recently, toward including more diverse leadership in the labor movement. In 1974, it became the first American labor organization to voice strong condemnation of South African apartheid. Now on the national stage, Lucy became involved in a large number of national associations. Through AFSCME, he worked with the AFL-CIO s Industrial Union Department (IUD), Department of Professional Employees (DPE), and Maritime Trades Department (MTD). He also rose to leadership positions in various civil rights organizations such as the NAACP, the National Urban Coalition, and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Lucy also worked locally with a variety of civic organizations in Washington, D.C. He was involved with the development of the D.C. Convention Center, campaigned for D.C. home rule, and worked on the D.C. Sports Commission. During the 1970s, Lucy and AFSCME also participated in the movement to pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). In the 1980s, Lucy worked extremely hard on one particular cause. Lucy was on the executive board of TransAfrica Forum, an African American human rights group that advocates for freedom and justice in Africa. In November 1984, Lucy, along with Dr. Mary Frances Berry, D.C. Congressman Walter Fauntroy, TransAfrica Director Randall Robinson, Dr. Sylvia Hill, and Roger Wilkins formed the Free South Africa Movement (FSAM) to coordinate protests and demonstrations against South Africa s apartheid regime. This grass roots movement organized daily protests at the South African embassy in Washington, D.C., that saw arrests of many 3

4 leaders and celebrities over the years. FSAM also put pressure on government officials to divest from South Africa and on consumers to boycott corporations that invested and traded with the apartheid regime. In 1989, long time apartheid leader P.W. Botha stepped down, and F.W. de Klerk became president. On February 11, 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years. FSAM members helped organize an 11-day, 7-city tour of America for Mandela. Stops included the 1990 AFSCME Convention in Miami, as well as the UAW Convention in Detroit. FSAM had counted the labor movement as a strong ally in its fight to rid South Africa of the apartheid government. In 1994, Lucy led an AFL-CIO delegation to monitor South Africa s elections, which resulted in Mandela winning the presidency. During the 1980s, Lucy was also involved in creating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as a national holiday. A bill declaring King s birthday as a holiday was passed in 1983, and the first King Day was observed in Additionally, throughout his career, Lucy and AFSCME helped to increase registration and turnout among African American voters. The 1980s also saw Lucy and AFSCME s work toward pay equity for women workers, especially related to a case waged in Washington state by AFSCME Council 28 and their involvement with the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW). Jerry Wurf, AFSCME s president since 1964, died in An AFSCME International Executive Board (IEB) meeting was held to elect someone to finish out Wurf s term until the full union could vote at the 1982 biennial convention in Atlantic City. Because Lucy had been in the number-two position in AFSCME for nine years at that point, many people believed he was a leading contender for president. A successful, young organizer from Pennsylvania, Gerald McEntee, was also in the running, however, and garnered enough votes to win the presidency. McEntee retained the position at the full convention vote in 1982, and continues to hold the presidency in Lucy continued as Secretary-Treasurer, expanding his leadership roles in the national and international labor movements. AFSCME and Lucy had been involved with Public Services International (PSI), an global group of public service unions, for decades, and in 1994, Lucy was elected president of the organization. In 1995, he was also elected to the executive council of the AFL-CIO, a position he retains in At the 2010 AFSCME Convention in Boston, William Lucy retired as Secretary-Treasurer. He had held this position for 38 years, but he had begun his relationship with AFSCME as a rank and file member 54 years earlier. Lee Saunders was elected to succeed Lucy as AFSCME International Secretary-Treasurer. Lucy remains president of CBTU and an active member of the AFL-CIO executive council in Scope and Content: The AFSCME Office of the Secretary-Treasurer: William Lucy Records document the activities and operations of AFSCME International, the Office of the Secretary-Treasurer, and AFSCME s state and local councils. The Records also convey the actions of William Lucy in a number of labor and civil rights organizations. The Records include correspondence, reports, speeches, financial information, legal documents, convention transcripts and proceedings, publications, and 4

5 meeting minutes. Several boxes of audio recordings of International Executive Board meetings are included, and a very small number of photographs appear in the collection. Records in Series II: Associations were retained only if they related directly to AFSCME or Lucy s interactions with the association. Records that document the everyday activities of these associations, such as publications and generic form letters that either reported on an organization s activities or solicited monetary donations, were not kept unless they related directly to AFSCME or Lucy s actions. Lucy served as a board member for many of these organizations, but his name listed among other board members on letterhead was not enough to ensure that records were kept. The records in this series document the substantive interaction of AFSCME and/or Lucy with these groups.
