Richard B. Tussey was active in the labor movement as an organizer, educator, editor, negotiator 

and administrator for over thirty years. A Pittsburgh native, he moved to Cleveland as a Socialist 

Labor Party organizer in the 1940s. After World War II, he served as executive secretary and 

organizer for the Metal and Machine Workers Industrial Union #440, the last Industrial Workers 

of the World (IWW) local in Cleveland. When his local voted to affiliate with the Mechanics 

Educational Society of America in the late fifties, he became an organizer and educator for 

MESA. In 1958 he played an important role in the labor coalition that defeated a ballot proposal 

for a right-to-work law in the state of Ohio. 

Mr. Tussey was active in support of civil liberties and antiwar causes. In 1960 he made three 

trips to Cuba and helped organize the Cleveland chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, 

which led to his appearance before the U.S. Senate Internal Security Committee and his dismissal 

by MESA. For the rest of his career he worked as an international representative on the staff of 

the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen (later called the United Food and 

Commercial Workers). Mr. Tussey died in June of 1981 at the age of sixty-two. 

The papers of Richard B. Tussey consist of correspondence, minutes, proceedings, grievances, 

publications, reports, flyers, pamphlets, clippings and other material reflecting his activities with 

the IWW, MESA, and UFCW. To a lesser extent, they reflect his political interests. Related 

material may be found in the IWW Collection. 

Non-Manuscript Material 

A number of contracts, constitutions, bylaws, union newspapers and newsletters have been 

placed in the Archives Library and a few photographs, posters, IWW charters, and items of 

memorabilia can be found in the Archives Audiovisual Collection.
