The correspondence of the Building Trades Council and the printed material of the Central Labor Union deal primarily with national AFL-CIO policies, while the correspondence and minutes of the Apprenticeship Committee primarily concern apprentice training programs. The bulk of the Labor Temple materials consist of leases and contracts involving that building. Also, included in the records are papers relating to the Florida Commission of Aging and the Florida Mediation and Conciliation Service.
