GE Sues IUE for Unfair Labor Practices in Strike
General Electric filed a suit with the National Labor Relations Board charging the International Union of Electrical Workers with unlawful delaying of negotiations and coercion of employees during a seven week strike that began October 27. UE officials claimed GE offered a phony settlement while foremen allegedly advertised to lure workers back before Christmas. GE denied the document, and union spokesmen criticized the company as negotiations collapsed. GE said the IUE's conduct was evasive and aimed at blocking meaningful talks.
