The Kodak Worker (Rochester). Vol. 1 No. 8. September, 1928.

The Kodak Worker was an example of workplace newspaper produced by Workers (Communist) Party ‘shop nuclei.’ The Kodak Nucleus paper began in February 1928 by militants to be distributed at Eastman Kodak’s Rochester, New York Camera Works factory. While the A.F.L. represented skilled trades in the plats, many workers remained unorganized until the C.I.O. One of around thirty such papers developed by C.P. activists at the time, some papers were linked directly to the Trade Union Educational League, while others were centered locally, or connected with various factions, like Lovestone’s, within the C.P. ‘The Kodak Worker’ seems to have lasted little more than a year.
