Labor’s right to strike should be used judiciously now
The CIO’s strike call at Ford’s three Detroit plants is deemed ill-timed as it could erode public support for labor amid defense production. Bethlehem Steel’s Lackawanna plant quiets after talks, while unions push to organize Ford workers despite a 30 day cooling off. Authorities offer little arbitration, raising risk to $125 million in defense contracts and 100,000 jobs. Labor’s protest must avoid abusing its right to strike.
