Avery to Enter New Labor Talks at Montgomery Ward
Sewell Avery, chairman of Montgomery Ward, will be asked to join union negotiations with the United Retail Wholesale and Department Store Employees union after statements from Avery prompted union leaders to insist on his participation. The union seeks a union shop, dues checkoff, and a pay raise, while Avery opposes a maintenance of membership clause. The plant faced a wartime seizure in 1943 and a line of labor disputes continues with a strike at Hummer Manufacturing in Springfield, a Ward subsidiary.
