Congress Pushes Taft Hartley to End Copper Strike
Congress members from copper states urge President Johnson to use Taft Hartley to halt the 6 14 month strike that has idled 60 000 workers. A court injunction could trigger an 80 day cooling off period and a presidential fact finding panel. Senator Bennett says the strike is a national emergency, while Representative Olsen argues copper stocks remain ample and pressure is warranted on both sides. Senator Fannin notes 10 000 idle workers in Arizona and cites long wage recovery. Kennecott Copper Corp. says unions demand over a dollar more per hour while it offers 50.6 cents in a package.
