Abstract
Region 1A was formed in 1942 and included the west side of Detroit, as well as Monroe,
Washtenaw and a portion of Oakland County. Some of the material in this collection also
relates to Region 1, which covered the east side of Detroit and the remainder of Oakland
County. These two regions, during the period covered by this collection, had more members than any other UAW region and were administered by two co-directors. Later they were each divided into two separate regions.
