Abstract: Local 407 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen, and Helpers of America in Cleveland, Ohio, is the the largest Teamster freight local in Ohio.

The collection consists of machine duplicated newspaper clippings concerning the Teamster and wildcat truckers' strikes of 1967, 1970 and 1976, machine duplicated business correspondence sent to Thomas "Eddie" Lee, secretary-treasurer of Local 407 (1964-1978), several wage-rate agreements, and miscellaneous items, including copies of news articles on prominent local and national Teamster leaders such as William and Jackie Presser and Jimmy Hoffa.
