Pirates Labor Bargaining Vote Ordered for Aug. 20
In Harrisburg Pennsylvania the state labor relations board ordered a Pittsburgh Pirates players election on August 20 to decide if players want representation by the American Baseball Guild. The three man board ruled baseball workers fall under the Little Wagner Act as commerce and that players may unionize and strike as industrial workers, aiming to block management from delaying by court action. The order, said to be not appealable, was issued as season ends and players are dispersed nationwide.
