Construction strike panel faults contractors in Vermont probe
The governor appointed three member panel found that laborers offered major concessions while contractors refused to bargain in good faith since Sept 6. It blamed eight contractors for aiming to destroy organized labor from mid-December 1972 and urged legislation to bar nonbargaining contractors from state bids and to allow binding arbitration after 120 days. The report notes laborers faced wage erosion and that violence occurred on both sides, with some union members engaging in violent acts.
