A proportion of the material belongs to other individuals, such as McAra's partner Diana Wilsie and relates to their involvement with a particular union. Contents include leaflets, newsletters, newspaper clippings and arbitration court submissions similar to those in Series 5. Some folders include correspondence to McAra from other members of the CPNZ and from union officials regarding union matters. Other folders contain correspondence to and from others regarding union matters.
